THE LIVING BREATH FOUNDATION
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.

O'Neill Wetsuits
The wetsuit design team at O'Neill has worked closely with Melissa and Joey to develop a vest to carry the oxygen tank both comfortably and safety while out in the surf. They have also built in custom padding to wetsuits in order to pad Melissa's feeding tube and allows her to lay comfortably on the surfboard. Falling in line with Jack O'Neill's pursuit to surf for longer, the development of the surfing vest has allowed Melissa to continue catching waves far past what many expected.
