My Xtreme Hike Story
My Hike Story
Our sweet Henry was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was 10 days old. At the time, it was devastating to our growing family, not knowing anything about CF and feeling overwhelmed and helpless at protecting our grandson.
But now, two years later, we are filled with hope. Over the past decade advancements have been made that will be life saving for Henry. And those advancements were possible because of the people before us – the ones that fought to fund the science and the research.
This year will be our first extreme hike, but not our last. We will walk every year for Henry and for everyone living with CF. Until there’s a cure.
With love,
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.
