Breathe Bravely

Breathe Bravely is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals living with cystic fibrosis (CF) through innovative programs that focus on the breath and the voice. The organization is best known for its sings65 program, which provides personalized vocal training to CF patients to improve respiratory health and emotional well-being. Founded by Ashley Ballou-Bonnema, who lives with CF herself, the organization aims to empower the CF community through education, advocacy, and creative expression. Breathe Bravely operates as a support and wellness entity rather than a traditional pharmaceutical developer. Their initiatives include podcasts and community outreach designed to foster a sense of connection and resilience among those affected by the disease. By utilizing the art of singing, the organization provides a unique therapeutic approach to managing the physical and mental challenges of cystic fibrosis.
