ImmUnity Canada has been a registered charity (BN#: 816034276RR0001) since 1997, and its staff and volunteers are dedicated to empowering people with Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) to live well through education, advocacy and building community.

There are approximately 500 known PIs, which are genetic disorders where part of the immune system is either missing, or not functioning properly. This leaves people prone to infections, and fighting them off is much harder. Many people with PI also have a predisposition towards co-existent auto-immune disorders, where the immune system targets healthy tissue, leading to inflammation and further ill-health.

Our volunteers have varied roles, including: board members, medical advisory committees, support group facilitators, Facebook moderators, patient story-tellers, and of course, our much valued event volunteers.

Growth of the soul is our goal, and there are many ways to encourage that growth, such as through love, nature, healing our wounds, forgiveness, and service. The soul grows well when giving and receiving love. I nourish my soul daily by loving others and being vulnerable to their love. Love is, after all, a verb, an action word, not a noun.

Joan Borysenko, Ph.D.
