I found out about BreatheStrong CF last year. After applying for an exercise grant I was awarded a new bicycle. Since receiving the bike I’ve been riding more than I have in well over 15 years. This June I’ve ridden about 120 miles- a feat I didn’t think possible. 

This year I’m participating in a local CF ride for the first time in 15 years. I would like to use the opportunity to raise money and awareness for the BreatheStrong CF.

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.
