The Mauli Ola Foundation (MOF) was organized to promote education, awareness of genetic diseases and to increase research for genetic disorders. The MOF raises funds to support programs for kids and adults with life-threatening illnesses and disabilities through social events such as music concerts, sports tournaments, galas, and other great events. We want to provide a direct and immediate option for children with genetic disorders an enjoyable and healthy way of life through natural treatments.
Surf Experience Days For The Kids
Surf Experience Days were created to get kids who have cystic fibrosis out into the ocean water (which is high in saline) and experience what natural therapies can do for their lungs. The exercise and fun they get from these events is truly fantastic. What is even more amazing, kids who have cystic fibrosis respond very well to the salt water environment. The saline in the air and water breaks down the congestion that is in their lungs. This congestion is what causes them to go to hospitals constantly and leads them to have to take lots of medication on daily basis. With salt water treatments, their hospital visits are cut down in half, leading to a healthier and more fulfilling life with fun activities. Please see these articles that describe the saline treatments: Mauli Ola Foundation Interactive Links and News

History
The Mauli Ola Foundation is a public non-profit organization founded in 2008 by James Dunlop. The MOF has had a few successful events so far. We held the first cystic fibrosis surf experience day in Newport Beach, CA which helped children who suffer from cystic fibrosis get out and surf (see CF surf experience day). We also had a concert featuring Pato Banton to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (see CFF website).
