As most of you know, Cystic Fibrosis has been part of our family’s daily life for the past 16+ years.

Our daughter, Sloane, was born with CF.  Her name is Gaelic for "Little Warrior".  We gave her that name as a reminder of her continued daily battle with this relentless, progressive disease — the treatments, the complications, the worry, and the constant fight for her health and future.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic, life-shortening disease that attacks the lungs, pancreas, and other vital organs. It makes it harder to breathe, harder to stay healthy, and harder to live the kind of carefree life every child deserves.

While important progress has been made, there is still no cure, and far too many people with CF still lose their lives too young.

That is why I am taking on the 2026 Xtreme Hike for Cystic Fibrosis on October 24, 2026 — an extreme 20-mile hike through Palo Duro Canyon, the second-largest canyon in the United States, just outside Amarillo, Texas.

This hike will be tough, but it is nothing compared to the uphill battle children like ours face every single day.

I am doing this for my daughter, for everyone living with CF, and for the hope that one day no family will have to hear that their child has a disease with no cure.

I am asking for your help. Your donation is more than a gift — it is hope. It helps fund critical research, better treatments, and the fight for a cure so that every person with Cystic Fibrosis has the chance to live a longer, healthier life.
 

Please help me turn this grueling hike into something meaningful.

Please donate and help us move closer to ending Cystic Fibrosis.
