COVID-19 and BreatheStrong:

Our first concern is for your health and safety during the COVID-19 outbreak. We encourage our community to find alternative ways to stay active. We will continue to process BreatheStrong applications for equipment and activities that can be done while social distancing. Applications for gym memberships, sports teams, and other activities requiring close contact with groups will be placed on hold until CDC and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation guidelines permit group activities.




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 calendar year.
