As a social worker, I see firsthand how access to resources can shape a person’s health, confidence, and quality of life. Supporting the BreatheStrong CF Exercise Grant Program is important to me because it helps remove financial barriers that can prevent individuals with cystic fibrosis from staying active. 

Exercise isn’t just about fitness—it plays a vital role in improving lung function, boosting energy, and supporting overall well-being. This fundraiser is dedicated to helping individuals and families access opportunities like gym memberships, sports programs, and adaptive equipment so they can build sustainable, healthy routines. 

By contributing, you’re not just supporting physical activity—you’re helping create stronger, healthier futures for those living with CF.

As we look ahead to Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, we celebrate the strength, progress, and determination within the CF community. This is a time to uplift one another, share hope, and recognize the incredible strides being made in care, research, and daily living. Together, we continue moving forward—stronger, more informed, and more connected than ever.

“Never underestimate the difference you can make, one step, one breath, and one act of hope at a time.”

About BreatheStrong CF: 

BreatheStrong CF is a nonprofit organization with a mission to advance the physical and mental wellness of people with cystic fibrosis through education, direct support, and empowering opportunities.

Among our initiatives, we provide direct support to people living with CF across the US through exercise grants that are designed to help them build and maintain a lifelong habit of physical activity. We provide funding for a wide range of fitness-related expenses, empowering recipients to move in ways that strengthen both body and lungs.

For CF families in Georgia experiencing financial hardship, our Critical Needs grant may be able to help ease the burden of groceries and fuel costs.
