My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for Grand Canyon Fall Xtreme Hike

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?

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.

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.
