Matt's Mission

Matt McCloskey dedicated his life to helping others step away from the everyday challenges of cystic fibrosis and experience something extraordinary. Help us keep his mission going - one Breather at a time.

Take A Breather Foundation, a 501(c)(3) founded in 2012, grants wishes—called “breathers”—to children and adults living with cystic fibrosis. Inspired by the Narberth CF Run, which began fulfilling wishes in 1996, the foundation partners with hospitals including Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Nemours Children's Hospital and the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania to bring joy and hope to those fighting this relentless disease. Cystic fibrosis requires daily, intensive treatment, as patients battle chronic lung infections and take countless medications—just to breathe.
