Cinema For A Cure (May 5th, in support of cystic fibrosis research)

As you know, since a couple of years ago I’ve been writing about Eva Markvoort (a very popular Vancouver/New Westminster blogger who passed away from cystic fibrosis at a very young age). So, cystic fibrosis is one of the causes that I hold near and dear to my heart. Thus, I hope that you will join many other folks who are interested in these causes on May 5th at Denman Cinemas to kick of CF Awareness Month with the Vancouver debut of two award-winning CF-related films: The Power of Two and Foreverland at Cinema For A Cure!

6:30 pm – The Power of Two is the incredible true story of twin sisters, their battle with cystic fibrosis and their successful double-lung transplants. Academy Award nominated director, Marc Smolowitz, will be joining us for a Q & A after the film.

9:00 pm – Foreverland is a Canadian feature film written and directed by Max McGuire, a Canadian living with cystic fibrosis. Foreverland features American actor Max Thieriot and memorable performances by Academy Award nominees Juliette Lewis and Demián Bichir. Max McGuire will be joining for a Q & A after the film.

I have a special fondness for cystic fibrosis, so I would ask my readers to please help me spread the word! Invite your friends, family and co-workers to come and share this evening of film and philanthropy benefiting Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
