My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for Grand Canyon Fall Xtreme Hike 2026
Cindi Ripple
Steve and I will be back on the dusty trail to help raise money for Cystic Fibrosis!
On October 3rd we plan to hike from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in one day with 24 participants and 4 other guides. We participate in this hike because we know that the vast majority of the money raised will be used to fund research; research that we believe will one day help discover a cure for CF. Since we first became involved with this group 15 years ago, so much progress has been made. It is exciting and heartening to see how much the lives of CF patients have improved during this short amount of time.
Steve and I take turns asking family & friends to donate to our campaign. A donation to me is also a donation to him. Our baseline goal is to raise enough to cover the cost of our transportation, room & meals for the weekend so we aren't a drain on the fundraising total. But, we are always hopeful that we can do much better than this! If you are in a position to help, please use the provided link to my page to donate.
Thank you so much for your support!
