Metro DC Xtreme Hike

Welcome,
We are so glad you are here! Ready to go the distance and join us for our annual hike to cure cystic fibrosis? By participating, you have the power to change thousands of lives. Your support helps the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation fund the research and care needed to help advance a cure for this disease. While we’ve made significant progress, we still have a long way to go. We still lose precious lives to CF every day.  You can help us accelerate progress. Now is the time to act.
To have the best experience possible, we ask that every hiker takes the time to prepare physically and that you are willing to commit to raising the fundraising minimum, or more, for the cause. Every dollar raised supports our mission to provide adults and children with CF in the U.S. a better chance at living a long, healthy life.
What Makes Our Hike Unique
The Metro DC Xtreme Hike is a fully supported hike that is structured to be 3 legs with rest stops. If the need arises, hikers may stop hiking at any rest stop. Hikers may choose between different route lengths based on comfort & skill level. Training hikes are led by our Volunteer Leadership Team monthly. All hikers will enjoy accommodations for three days, two nights & 5 meals at Snowshoe Mountain Resort.
For any questions, please email Gabi Santos, gsantos@cff.org or check out our webpage for updated information: https://pages.e2ma.net/pages/1799116/43064.
