My Xtreme Hike Story

  • Elena at Sibley
  • Elena on Sugarloaf

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

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.


Why am I hiking?

I was made aware of this fundraising opportunity through my friends Sue and Art Lohsen, whose daughter Elena lives with Cystic Fibrosis. This is my third year participating on the hike. 

On September 21st, I will be walking 23.8 miles on the 2024 Xtreme hike with Sue’s team, “Elena’s Entourage” to help raise funds to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.  

Your support makes a difference.

By donating to my fundraising goal, you will help advance our mission for a cure for all. 


With Gratitude, 

Marianne
