My Xtreme Hike Story

  • Dylan finally leaving after 15 days!

All donations are tax deductible!!

As many of you know when dylan was 10 days old he was diagnosed with CF, for the first year of his life he spent time in and out of the hospital. After his last visit at 10 months old dylan had a hard set back this last year when he dropped 40% lung function.

In June 2022 dylan got really sick and couldn't fight an infection in his lungs, he stayed in the hospital for 15 days to get special treatments and medication through his picc line. He was such a trooper through the whole thing.... he finally was about to leave and his PFT was back up to 100%.

This doesn't mean his fight is over, dylan will live his whole life til CF stands for Cure Found. Each day dylan does vest therapy and nebulizers twice daily, he also takes creon everytime he eats and multiple medication to help prevent infections and help lessen mucus.

The last year dylan started a new medication that was approved for his age group, this is all possible because of the funding!!! He has done really well on the medication and we’re hoping for better increases in the coming time. So please consider helping raise money for Dylan and all others fighting!!

Please help me to raise funds for the CF foundation that has done so much for Dylan and all the other people with CF. Without this funding new medications and therapy couldn't be possible.


I also lost a friend almost 2 years ago who had been involved in Dylan’s journey since his birthday, both her mom and her helped me to learn and understand CF. Anytime I had questions they were also there to help and share their experiences. She was a beautiful sole, always so bright and was always so positive even with all the trouble she was going through. Forever in our hearts ❤ 


WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL CF STANDS FOR CURE FOUND! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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!
