When you select the Cystic Fibrosis Association of New Zealand as your charity to fundraise for, you can be sure that every single dollar you raise will be used to ensure people with Cystic Fibrosis lead a physically active life, something that is essential to preserve their lungs.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a life threatening genetic condition for which there is currently no cure. It primarily affects the lungs and causes chronic and debilitating chest infections that results in irreversible lung damage. However physical activity is one way that people with CF can help themselves to stay well and to live longer.

Children affected by Cystic Fibrosis need all the help they can to breath easier. Will you use your Breath4CF? Breath4CF was established to help families meet the cost of their children's physical activity needs and to ensure that their quality of life is enhanced and prolonged. Breath4CF grants funds to people with CF for gym memberships, entry fees, lessons, sports equipment etc, in fact Breath4CF will help towards any physical activity for a person with Cystic Fibrosis, that produces a health benefit.

It is Breath4CF's stated vision that all people with Cystic Fibrosis participate in physical activity as part of their daily life and that the cost of such activity is not a barrier to participation.

The Cystic Fibrosis Association is an incorporated society with branches in most regions to provide local support. Learn more: CF Association of New Zealand.

Use your Breath4CF and change lives.
