The Alpha-1 Community Needs Your Help! Canadian Blood Services has launched a bold new recruitment campaign. "To get where we need to be, we’ve set an ambitious recruitment goal of one million new donors. Achieving that goal will take collective action — but at a time of growing national pride, Canada’s Lifeline stands as a powerful reminder of what’s possible when Canadians support one another." Plasma donations are vital for life-saving Alpha-1 therapies. Many patients rely on organ and blood donations for a second chance at life. Be the reason someone breathes easier — speak to your circle about becoming a donor. Visit https://at.blood.ca/whossavingwho/ to learn more. (fb)

This past weekend, AlphaNet Canada was honoured to present the Canadian alpha-1 access journey at the Alpha-1 Foundation Global Research Conference and Patient Congress in Lisbon, Portugal. We were incredibly proud to be joined by Dr. Sylvain Grenier, who shared valuable insights on the Canadian Blood Services' PPRP process and formulary. A heartfelt thank you to the Canadian alphas who bravely shared their stories of starting Glassia in the past year. Your voices resonated deeply and inspired our global community. And to everyone who sent in photos - thank you! They brought warmth, connection, and hope to fellow alphas worldwide. Your story matters. If you’d like to share your alpha-1 journey, connect with others, and stay informed, we invite you to subscribe to our AlphaNet Canada community. Message us directly at infoca@alphanetcanada.ca - we’d love to hear from you! (fb)
