My Xtreme Hike Story

My Hike Story

My son William has CF, and he is doing great thanks to the CF Foundation and a miracle drug called Trikafta. In fact, he's doing so well he got married this summer!

While Trikafta and other modulators benefit over 90% of those with CF, we can improve on these treatments which can be taxing on the liver. Also, we need to develop effective treatments for the remaining CF population, so no one with CF gets left behind.

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.
