Breathing Room
facilitates candid and open communication between adults with Cystic Fibrosis, supports the development of a community of adults with CF and provides education and insight for families, caregivers, and medical professionals who impact our lives.

Art Contest
Are you a transplant recipient or family member of an organ donor? Here is another wonderful way to express yourself through art!

“Comforting the mind, body, and soul through the healing force of artistic expression.” If you know someone who is waiting for or has received a transplant or a family member of an organ, tissue or eye donor, our nationwide art contest presents a unique opportunity for them to share their experiences and emotions in a tangible way.

Art and Healing


We thought that once again it would be good to focus on some art and healing websites. Here are just a few new ones we like:

Art for Healing
Arts and healing network
Arts as a Healing Force
Survivors Art Foundation

and, as always, check out our resources page for even more links

penetrated by cystic fibrosis,
mummified in skin,
wrapped up by bones,
knotted in place with muscles,
tightly tied,
all the alveoli
