My Xtreme Hike Story

Our Hike Story

Brenn and I will be hitting the Appalachian Trail again October 12th for a grueling 30.1 miles.  This will be my 8th Xtreme Hike and Brenn’s 2nd! We started hiking for our friend Palmer and continue to hike for her, but now we also hike for all the amazing children and adults we have met living with CF and their family members.  This community has become a second family for us and we will continue to hike until a cure is found.  In the 8 years I have hiked life expectancy has increased by 25 years!  It so amazing to be able to see the results of our fundraising.  

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.
