My Xtreme Hike Story
Hiking with friends - until its done!
I am so encouraged by the scientific progress made in the pursuit of a cure for CF. Almost 10 years ago, I was introduced to this awesome community when I was selected as a local leadership honoree and I have literally seen the life expectancy of people living with CF increase in these short years.
All children deserve a chance to grow up - and if we can do this with CF, we can do this for other diseases like ALS, breast cancer, depression, diabetes and so on.
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. Please consider joining us and helping make CF stand for Cure Found.
