Program Overview
|
The M4CF BreatheStrong Program is focused on helping individuals living with cystic fibrosis commit to a lifetime of regular physical activity through access, education, encouragement, motivation, accountability, competition, and peer support. The program provides grants for exercise equipment, organized fitness activities, and facility memberships for people with CF living in Georgia and neighboring states.
Grants may include gym memberships, yoga, swim lessons, sports team registration fees or gear, running or hiking, exercise equipment, horseback riding, dance, or other activities that promote physical fitness. Awardees join the rich M4CF BreatheStrong community, with opportunities to interact with other CF champions, fundraisers, caregivers, clinicians, and researchers.

COVID-19 and BreatheStrong
Our first concern is for your health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we encourage our community members to find alternative ways to stay active. We will continue to process BreatheStrong applications for equipment and activities that can be performed while social distancing. Applications for gym memberships, sports teams, and other activities will be considered on a case-by-case basis as we follow CDC and CF Foundation guidelines. Please visit our resource page for COVID-19 information and suggestions regarding ways to stay active while you are at home.
In addition, if you are a current or past recipient of a BreatheStrong Grant and have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 economic shutdown, you may be eligible for financial assistance. Visit the M4CF Critical Needs Initiative webpage to learn more.
