There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. 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.
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?

View from the top of Mt. Tammany
Second hike day was at Mt. Tammany. It's supposed to be the hardest hike in NJ. We did it twice to get in some elevation and test out new shoes. Fun hike. Very warm and great views from the top. Saw a bear driving to the trailhead and a doe and fawn during the hike. Feeling good about my fitness and readiness for the hike.

Headed to North Jersey for some real climbing. Two days of hiking near the Delaware Water Gap hiking the two hardest hikes in NJ. Day 1 - Stairway to Heaven in Vernon, NJ. Did the full hike once and the last steep part a second time & felt great.

Longport bridge going up towards Longport - highest elevation in the area!
Longer bridge hike yesterday with the new hiking shoes. Shoes felt great and the extra time on the bridge felt easy. Training coming along nicely. 7.6 miles and 662 ft of climbing.

OCHS bleachers with boardwalk ferris wheel in back
Workout #3 moved from the bridges to OCHS for some bleacher fun. Another hot day. Legs burning after that one.
Going up the Longport Bridge
More bridge fun on workout #2 - repeats on the Longport bridge. Another hot day!
Started my training last week. Hard to find any elevation in South Jersey but we have bridges here. First training - over the 9th street bridge & back. Temp close to 100 with a real feel of about 110.
