My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for North Carolina Spring Xtreme Hike
Philip Downs
Welcome and thank you for supporting Ava's Aviary, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and the approximately 40,000 people living with cystic fibrosis in the United States. About 1 in 30 people in the U.S. is a carrier of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, so a good chance you know someone who has been affected by this genetic condition. There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. However, there is hope and I’m hiking will other pationate families and friends 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.
