My Xtreme Hike Story
Fundraising for Grand Canyon Summer Xtreme Hike 2026
Tiffany Pettinato
On May 15, 2026, I’ll be hiking 20+ miles through the Grand Canyon to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation—raising awareness and funds for a cure.
This journey is deeply personal. As a parent of two young children with cystic fibrosis, I see every day how much strength they carry. I’m taking on this challenge for them—for the hope of longer, healthier lives—and for every family still waiting for a breakthrough.
If not for my children, then for the next generation. A cure is within reach, and together we can help make it happen.
If you’re able to support, share, or simply follow along, it would mean so much. 💙

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.
