My Xtreme Hike Story

Thank you to everyone that has supported the fight against CF! We’ve come along way since I started the fight in 1980, but we have many steps left on the journey. Thank you for walking alongside me! And a special shout out to two of my best friends - Ashleigh (friends since we were 11) and Michielle (friends since we were 14) - for being my teammates for this xtreme hike!!!

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.
