Chelsea Gagnon swallows 20 to 30 pills per day or 10,000 pills a year. The 29-year-old has cystic fibrosis (CF): her body produces thick, sticky mucous that clogs her lungs, making it hard to breathe. The disease makes her prone to sinus and lung infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Eventually, chronic inflammation triggered by repeated infections will damage her lungs. But, despite her illness, Chelsea is a brave advocate for awareness and for treatment of her disease. Chelsea’s main focus in her advocacy currently is getting Orkambi covered throughout all Canadian provinces. Medications like Orkambi are very costly and, with many people with disabilities are unable work and/or are living below the poverty belt, they aren’t able to access them. “Access to healthcare is a fundamental right [but] bureaucracy currently prevents everyone from accessing it in a fair manner”.
