"My challenge? Cystic Fibrosis. My dream? To breathe freely with a new pair of lungs." - Kathryn Norris
As most of know by now, I am a wellness advocate for, doTERRA essential oils and have loved being able to help other CFers with the, Breathe Respiratory Oil Blend. I want to help Cystics breathe a little easier.
Which, is why I've decided to do a fundraiser in hopes to help all CFers experience the feelings of open airways, calming a cough, and actually geting mucus up and out of your lungs when you use a diffuser. 💨Always continue to use your nebulizer medications.
⚠Now, before I get bombarded about selling something for my own benefit. I'm not trying to get around that part. The goal for me here isn't to make money, but to help you and Kathryn in the long run.
If you've followed my CF journey, then you know that I have made an incredibly difficult decision of NOT getting a double lung transplant. Even though I'm opting out of a transplant, I still support and love the the option for a second chance for everyone who wants one!! Everyday I look forward to hearing that another Cystic has received that special phone call. That is where, Miss Kathryn Norris and I have crossed paths.
♻Being a 21 year old female the only issues you should be worried about is how you did on your midterms, making special bonds, what club are you going to Thursday night, and enjoying life like a young adult is supposed to. However, when you are diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, those worries are replaced with more serious and sometimes terrifying situations.
Being diagnosed with CF at 3 months old, Kathryn has always had a dark cloud following her every move. Yet, that hasn't slowed her down any as she is on top of this thing called life.
A senior at Maryville College for graphic design Kathryn puts her spirit, kindness, and lungs to the test. This girl is very dedicated to having a great life outside of the thousands of hours invested in breathing treatments, medications, hospitalization, and supplemental oxygen. Participanting on the dance team, singing in the choir, and being an artists in many forms she has a bright future ahead of her. I for one can not wait to what is yet to come. You can bet nothing is stopping her anytime soon.
♻Going in for her initial double lung transplant evaluation based on her lung function drastically dropping 80% throughout the years, they found out she is also in need of liver transplant. This is a complication that she wasn't expecting and unfortunately, she will have to relocate for long term health-care. You can only imagine the amount of stress this puts on a person and a family.
That is where my proposal comes from;
Help Me = By getting this oil in the hands of as many Cystics as possible. Yes, I do sell doTERRA, which in turn helps me financially on every other oil, the exception of this fundraiser with the Breathe Respiratory Blend.
Help You = The Breathe Respiratory Blend oil can be used for opening your airways making it easier to breathe for someone with CF or any respiratory issues. Using this specific oil along with ALL of your medications and treatments as prescribed, is a great way to stack the deck.
Help Her = For every 15mL bottle of the doTERRA Breathe Respiratory Blend sold at $26.66, I will be donating $5 directly to Kathryn's transplant fund. (If you'd rather donate straight to her and not get an oil click the link)
⚠I AM NOT MAKING ANY MONEY FROM THIS DEAL! My full commission is being donated!

Now, I know $5 isn't really a ton of money, however the more bottles sold, of course means more that gets donated straight to Kathryn. Along with more people getting the benefit of this awesome oil.
🎈Keep in mind when it comes to oils everyone is different. Some people have a great response to them and some people see no difference at all and some people have skin irritation. Here is what two CF patients have to say about the Breathe Respiratory Blend oil along with some others.
"I've read on essential oils for a while now and find that they help many people in a lot of ways. They help people like myself with Cystic Fibrosis and can help with calming you down in moments of stress. I enjoy the doTERRA Breathe Blend, I've used it when I feel tight in my chest and it helps open me up and feel better, I even dab a small amount on my finger to rub on my mask as I workout when I'm feeling the tightness in my chest starts to bother me, it helps calm my cough and I feel relief to return to my workouts. I use, doTERRA's On Guard Blend each morning. I rub it on my skin to help fight and build my immune system. I put a few drops of Lemon oil in my water when I go to the gym and Lavender helps me to rest at night." - Scotty, 33
"I love the doTERRA set that I bought. I got the diffuser and the roll on oils. The oils smell great and are not too strong or overwhelming. I use the roll on, on myself and I open them up and put a few drops into the diffuser. My favorite is the Breathe oil and I feel like it just opens up my sinuses. I feel like it is slightly easier to breathe while using it. I want to thank Sandi, so much for bringing these to my attention and for answering any questions I have had".- Alicia, 26
