My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for North Carolina Fall Xtreme Hike

Heidi Giusto

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis, and too many people with CF die young. I'm trying to do a small part to change that reality by participating in the CF Foundation's Xtreme Hike – when I will Hike for a Cure.

My husband, Chris, and I are doing this together, and we've committed to raising at least $6K for this wonderful organization. 

In case you don't know, CF is a genetic, life-shortening disease that devastates the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. CF makes it difficult to breathe and fight life-threatening infections, often leading to extensive lung damage and respiratory failure.  

While I don't have a strong personal connection to anyone with CF, I care deeply about advancing research that supports human health. Every person born with cystic fibrosis is on a unique journey and experiences this challenging disease differently. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead for far too many people fighting this terrible disease. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.

Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?

By donating to my fundraising goal, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.

Thank you so much for considering.

With gratitude,
Heidi
