Exercise has been shown to slow the rate of decline in lung function, help clear mucus from the lungs, increase appetite, and increase overall endurance in people with cystic fibrosis.
Through our BreatheStrong program, we will pay grants of up to $500 in a year for exercise activities for people with CF in Georgia and neighboring states. This may include gym memberships, yoga, swim, sports teams, running or hiking, horseback riding, dance, or many others. Click here for an application. For more information, email us at info@milesforcf.org. You are eligible to apply for one grant in each 12 month period. Have you already received a BreatheStrong grant?
