My Xtreme Hike Story

I’ll never forget sitting in a Macaroni Grill at the age of 17 and one of my best girls (we met at age 11) asked, “do you sometimes wish you never met me so you wouldn’t have to see me die?”

Back then, making it to 25 was next to unheard of….now she’s 44. This is due to her unwillingness to accept the status quo (praise God she has a fighting spirit), the unwavering support of her family and friends and of course the leaps and bounds made in the medical treatment of CF. 

I am so grateful for the work the CF Foundation does and for the hope it’s provided to my dear friend. 

If you know me, I run. I’m now training for this Xtreme hike! I hope you’ll support me and the ongoing fight for a cure!

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis. 

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.
