Staying Active with CF

“We can’t thank BreatheStrong CF enough for their efforts so our CFers are able to stay active. Because of them, our Kaisley cheered for her football team this year and has also played basketball and softball.

We want to express our sincere thanks to all who are involved with this organization and to all those who support its mission.”

Learn About Our Exercise Grants

Thank you for helping me to get back in the gym and feeling better! I would not have been able to do it without your financial support."

– Laura, Exercise Grant Recipient

I live on social security income exclusively because I am 66 with a late diagnosis of atypical CF. Without this grant, I would hesitate to sign up for yoga classes because my funds are limited. These classes have increased my core body strength, which can easily save my life as an older senior living alone.

– Brenda, Exercise Grant Recipient

I want to say thank you for giving me a grant for my sports. I really like cheer and softball and I want to keep playing. I love sports and it helps my CF a lot.

– Brayleigh, Exercise Grant Recipient

More Than Lungs: Building Emotional Resilience

Let’s explore what emotional resilience really looks like living with CF—no toxic positivity required. It’s shifting your mindset, celebrating small wins, setting boundaries, and giving yourself permission to rest and feel it all.

More Protein!

For those with CF, protein isn’t just a trend—it’s essential. From supporting muscle and metabolism to helping meet higher energy demands, getting enough protein can make a real difference in how you feel day to day.

Spice of Life – Protein

Spices are where the magic happens—turning everyday meals into bold, crave-worthy dishes. From smoky paprika chicken to golden lentil curry and chili herb eggs, it’s all about layering flavor and seasoning with intention.
