I created Love To Breathe®️ in 2001 to be a positive voice in the CF community, to help educate and raise awareness about cystic fibrosis, and spread love whenever I can!

38 Donate!
38 Donate!! May is Cystic Fibrosis Month and it just so happens to be my bday month.... I don't think this is a coincidence.
It's an exciting time in the CF community more than half the CF population is over 18 now which is unbelievably amazing, but sadly only 15% of the CF population is over the age of 40. Turning 38 that statistic hits a lil to close to home and is very sobering to me, in fact this number is not ok.
A cure is close, but we aren't there yet! Please join me as my theme for my bday this year is 38 Donate!! I have set up a special link to take donations that will go directly to the CF Foundation and help fund research to find that sought after cure. Because let's be honest that is the best birthday gift I could ever hope for.

As I celebrate my 38th birthday I know that the odds haven't necessarily been in my favor and getting here hasn't been easy, but it has definitely been worth it!! I am filled with more hope than ever, and truly believe with my whole heart that a cure is close.
Thank you for making my bday so special by making a bday donation in my honor and helping all of us with CF keep celebrating these milestones. I dream of the day I can celebrate my 40th bday and I will have ALL of you to thank for that.
Breathe out Love! Xo❤️

CF Awareness Month
My "Operation Ditch the Leash" painting.
May is Cystic Fibrosis awareness month and it just happens to be my Birthday month...coincidence?! I think not!!
So please join me and let's make everyone aware...CF needs a cure!! CF is a genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system. It causes your body to produce a thick sticky mucus. The mucus builds up in the lungs and can lead to life threatening lung infections. Notice the mucus in my painting.
A CFers day consists of hours of breathing treatments, airway clearance, exercise, and handfuls of pills to try and stay healthy. We will continue to do our part until that day when CF stands for CURE FOUND!! Breathe out love! Xo
