My Xtreme Hike Story
Mark Schmisseur
Fundraising for Grand Canyon Fall Xtreme Hike
Mark Schmisseur
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young.
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.
After my years of leading Rim to Rim hikes, this fall I will again be helping shepherd others make the trek across the Grand Canyon. These hikers are all fund raising for researching a cure of cystic fibrosis.
Will you help us end cystic fibrosis?
I am also contributing toward this goal and your donation to my fundraising goal, will help advance the research and science needed to pursue a cure for everyone with CF.
