My Xtreme Hike Story

My Hike Story

Every year since Grace’s diagnosis our family has participated in the Great Strides Walk.  This year we were out of town moving Grace out of her dorm in Chicago.  I have joined the Xtreme Hike as an opportunity to continue supporting CF, while also  increasing my fitness level. 

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. By participating in Xtreme Hike, I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.

Cystic fibrosis affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. The symptoms can vary from person to person, and as people with CF live longer than ever before, their disease can become more complicated, leading to serious health issues. 

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made extraordinary progress — including fostering the development of more than a dozen CF treatments — but these treatments are not a cure and not everyone can benefit from them. We must keep going.

Your support makes a difference.

By donating to my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. Grace has benefited greatly from  medical research and treatments funded by events like this. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
