My Xtreme Hike Story

I’m once again hiking for a cure.
On August 23rd, I’ll take on over 15 miles in the Adirondacks as part of the Xtreme Hike for Cystic Fibrosis—a cause deeply personal to me.

CF is a relentless genetic disease that fills the lungs with thick mucus, leading to infections, hospital stays, and, ultimately, respiratory failure. I’ve seen its toll firsthand through the daily battles of my incredible niece Grace (19) and nephew Joey (17), whose courage inspires me every day.

**That’s why I hike—**to honor their strength, to fight for their future, and to raise $2,500 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Your support helps fund groundbreaking research and brings us closer to a cure.

Please consider donating. Every step I take is powered by your generosity—and every dollar brings us closer to the finish line.

With gratitude and hope,
Rob
