My Xtreme Hike Story

Dear Friends and Family,

Ten years ago, I hiked with some of my closest friends and climbed Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. This hike is a challenge we experienced together as a team, Team Tess, and symbolizes the battles Tess and her family face everyday. 

Tess is my daughter Elise’s close friend, and she has become like family since the two met 20 years ago. Tess battles Cystic Fibrosis, and her optimism and strength is so admirable. She is truly one of the happiest people you will ever meet despite the hardships she has faced.

This August, we are doing the hike again! The hike is to raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. To raise money for the research to help find a cure and make a difference in the lives of many Americans living with Cystic Fibrosis like Tess. We have to raise $2500 EACH which will go directly to The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Please consider donating even a tiny amount to help us in reaching our fundraising goal. 

Help us reach the top of that mountain and make CF stand for CURE FOUND!!
