My Xtreme Hike Story

My Hike Story

Why do I do it? Because kids should be kids. And kids should be able to enjoy the simple joy of childhood. These two are so similar but have experienced life so wildly different, where one has been riddled with medicines, ongoing tests/benchmarking, and hospital stays. Still amazing to think about all of the stress, worry and sleepness nights I have not experienced because of CF.  

Progress continues to be made. Life continues to improve and innovation has been winning. Tangible improvements continue to be made. Last year was different than this year, and next year will be even better. 

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.
