Cystic Fibrosis is a lung disease that causes chronic lung infections. It impacts hundreds of families in South Dakota and thousands across the country. One group is finding camaraderie and help through singing. The SING-Spire Virtual Choir connects singers with Cystic Fibrosis from around the world.

Ashley Ballou-Bonnema is the executive director and founder of Breathe Bravely, and Maren Engel is Breathe Bravely's director of operations. They are here to tell us more about the program.
