BreatheStrong CF

In 2023, two organizations, Miles for Cystic Fibrosis and the Cystic Fibrosis Lifestyle Foundation merged to optimize their reach and support the cystic fibrosis community. In 2024, our merged national organization became BreatheStrong CF.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited, life-shortening disease that turns simply breathing into a struggle.  There is no cure.

People living with CF battle many serious symptoms, including difficulty with breathing and digesting food.

A lifelong regimen of medications, breathing treatments, nutritional supplements, and exercise improves quality of life, but for many creates financial hardship.

Our Mission:

BreatheStrong CF advances the physical and mental wellness of people with cystic fibrosis through education, direct support, and empowering opportunities.

Our Vision:

We envision a new era in which people with cystic fibrosis are empowered to live above and beyond perceived limitations.
