My Xtreme Hike Story

My Hike Story

12 Years Ago

The first Xtreme Hike for the CNY Chapter of Cystic Fibrosis Foundation​. I was honored to be asked to take on the task of organizing this event for the first time. It has been my sincere honor to be a part of this event and more importantly the CF Community ever since. The hike has become so popular we have to send out 3 groups on separate hikes due to the popularity and group size restrictions in the Adirondack High Peaks. 
I have also witnessed the miraculous breakthroughs through the research done in developing treatments as a result of the fundraising efforts like this one.

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.
