About Breath of Life Foundation

Breath of Life Foundation was founded with the intent to assist families in Wisconsin fight their battle with Cystic Fibrosis. Our Vice President, Lauren Arkens was born in 1984 with CF. Since birth she has relentlessly fought her disease. Never bending under the pressure. Over the past ten years, we’ve battled with Insurance, Medical diagnoses, mental fatigue and stress, as well as financial struggles. We know what it takes to successfully navigate this disease. We also know that we’re very fortunate to have the success we’ve had. In December of 2015 Lauren was granted a “second chance” to live without Cystic Fibrosis. Using that experience as a catalyst and an opportunity to “pay it forward” we formed a non-profit organization to support others with CF. Our race with the lung damaging effects of CF is over but that didn’t mean we don’t want to help fight for the people who need our help the most. We're committed to working with the Cystic Fibrosis centers in Green Bay and Milwaukee to filter funds directly to patients. We are work to promote a higher quality of life for those who battle every day to breathe. We assist with financial assistance for medications, additional treatments, nutritional supplements, travel, lodging and other ancillary costs that make life even harder to live. We have developed partnerships with CF centers to provide programs educating families on healthy lifestyles, compliance (doing treatments, taking medications, etc.), insurance and financial stability all while living a productive life and managing Cystic Fibrosis. We have a board of members who are dedicated and volunteering their time to help our foundation grow, promote events, develop events and give back to the community. We are very fortunate with our team of volunteers, that 100% of the money raised goes into helping families in Wisconsin.
