My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for North Carolina Fall Xtreme Hike

24 years ago our daughter, Zoe (means "life", particularly referring to the quality and nature of life), was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Her path started with manual compression claps which we simply referred to as "pat pat time" and digestive enzymes in apple sauce. As she's grown so has the technology and medication addressing the underlying symptoms of CF. We don't have a cure, but the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made a profound difference in Zoe's quality of life.
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.
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?
