My Xtreme Hike Story

My Hike Story

There is currently NO CURE for cystic fibrosis but we SO CLOSE. By participating in Xtreme Hike (this year in the Grand Canyon), I am helping to end this disease for thousands of people impacted by CF.

My two nieces and nephew all have Cystic fibrosis which 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. I am hiking 25 miles from "Rim to Rim" in 105 degree heat so I would appreciate all the motivation ($$$$) I can get to complete this arduous challenge!!!
