My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for Palo Duro Canyon Xtreme Hike 2026
Gabrielle Saluzzi
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. In October, 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.
As a result of cystic fibrosis, my aunt received a life-saving lung transplant in 2015 after being on a ventilator for six months. In 2024, she received a kidney transplant. She is my reason for hiking, and who inspires me to push harder and raise more money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation so that one day, people with CF don't need to go through endless hospital visits and organ transplants. We need a cure so that everyone with CF has a better chance to live a long, healthy life.
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.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
