The Mauli Ola Foundation (MOF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing hope and confidence to individuals living with genetic diseases. Harnessing the healing powers of the ocean, we introduce surfing and ocean-based activities as natural therapies. We are honored to share our knowledge of the ocean, family values and community.





MELISSA'S LAST WISH
Melissa's untimely death left the filmmaker, Sebi Lee, with a unique challenge and a promise to fulfill. Melissa wished to raise awareness about Cystic Fibrosis and organ donation through the film. Sebi was left with Melissa's video diaries, journals, hospital notes, and unfinished interviews, and her promise to finish the film on the day she passed.
Shot in 4K, with FPV drones and Ultra HD, the film features stunning visuals of surfing, the ocean, interviews, and candid iPhone footage from Melissa's eight-year video diary. The proceeds from the film will go to Melissa's parents' charity, the Living Breath Foundation, to support families affected by Cystic Fibrosis.
The Living Breath Foundation is a non-profit organization created to help those living with Cystic Fibrosis. We award scholarships for qualifying individuals who wish to further their education beyond the high school level. We also assist individuals and families with the added expenses associated with having Cystic Fibrosis, which include the extensive costs of prescription medication and medical equipment. In certain situations we provide financial assistance for individuals who have prolonged or frequent absence from work. In addition to providing financial assistance, The Living Breath Foundations plans on producing new and inventive ways to raise awareness about the disease and what it takes to live with the illness.
