My CF Climb Story

Our brother, Matt was 24 years old when he passed on November 15,2004. It was the saddest and hardest day of our lives for my parents, Chris and me. Matt was special and there are so many words to describe him, most of all, he was a loving son and the best younger brother to Chris and me. In his 24-years, he taught us a lot, to be strong, to love, to live, to laugh and to travel.  

His 20th anniversary is November 15th and we're going to climb the Linc stairs on November 9, 2024, to celebrate Matt. Hope you can join us!!!

There are nearly 40,000 people in the United States have cystic fibrosis: a progressive, genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who face the sobering prospect of a shortened lifespan. I climb for them.

Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has fostered the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and helped add decades of life for people with CF. Yet, many people with CF do not benefit from existing therapies. Our vision is a cure for every person with cystic fibrosis – a life free from the burden of this disease – and we will not leave anyone behind.
