Physical exercise is crucial for those living with

Physical exercise is crucial for those living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). This is why the Cody Dieruf Foundation (CDF) offers REC & FIT scholarships. These scholarships are not based on financial need; anyone with CF can apply. ⁠
⁠
Because of the generous support of our Cody Team, we can give Callie a scholarship for her kickboxing program this year. ⁠
⁠
Callie told us, "This program would help me maintain lung/pulmonary health, increase confidence and help me feel more capable in my body. It will provide a community to receive support and to connect with others and make friends."⁠
⁠
When you give to CDF, you give HOPE to someone living with CF.⁠
