My Xtreme Hike Story
Paula Salyer
Fundraising for Palo Duro Canyon Xtreme Hike
Paula Salyer
I will be participating in the Palo Duro Xtreme Hike on October 25, 2025. The hike will be 19 miles so there will be a lot of training involved and my motivation is to continue to help raise money and awareness to continue to fight until CF stands for Cure Found.
Beckett, my 9-year-old grandson, was born with Cystic Fibrosis. He started taking Trikafta when he turned 6, which is a highly effective CFTR modulator known to have a transformative effect on the health and well-being of many people with CF. These therapies do not reverse established lung damage but could help slow the irreversible progression of cystic fibrosis, dramatically altering the course of the disease over time. His daily routine includes breathing treatments, vest stimulation (airway clearance device), and medication twice a day. Staying active is very important to help keep his lungs clear. Beckett loves playing soccer and has started karate.
Will you join me in helping to make a difference in the lives of people, like Beckett, living with CF? Your support makes a difference in helping to advance our mission for a cure for all.
Let me thank you in advance for your time and support in fundraising for this disease that is so very near and dear to my heart! Regardless of whether it is through financial donations, participation, spreading awareness, or praying, your support is greatly appreciated!!
Please help me meet my goal!
With Sincere gratitude,
Paula Salyer, Beckett’s Nana
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m hiking to help change that reality.
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?
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.
