My Xtreme Hike Story

On April 21st, I will hike 30.1 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Damascus, VA to Grayson Highlands State Park to raise money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

April will be the 11th anniversary of my first Xtreme Hike. Since then, I have done 12 hikes and volunteered at 8 others. In that time tremendous progress has been made in the fight against cystic fibrosis thanks to your generous donations. But the fight is not done, despite the life changing treatments, like Trifacta, that are now available to make life better for people with CF, we still don't have a cure.

There are approximately 30,000 Americans living with cystic fibrosis. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, and friends who struggle every day just to breathe. I hike for them. Will you join me and support my fundraising goal?

Real progress has been made for those who have CF, but there is still no cure for this devastating disease and many lives are cut far too short. We've come so far, but there's still so much work to do. I will not stop hiking until all those with cystic fibrosis have a cure. We will not leave anyone behind.

Please support me!

We are at a pivotal moment in the history of cystic fibrosis and your support matters. With your help, we can invest our resources in research today, while raising funds for tomorrow, to ensure we have what it takes to reach the finish line. Together, we can make CF stand for Cure Found. Please help me reach my fundraising goal by donating to my Xtreme Hike fundraising campaign today!
