My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for Orange County Xtreme Hike

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. In my new role with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, I'm aiming to help change that reality - will you join me?
About Cystic Fibrosis:
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 as there is still no cure.
About Hike Weekend:
Idyllwild is a paradise nestled in the pines of the San Jacinto Mountains of Southern California. There are 2 designated courses, a 15-mile hike and an 8-mile hike. These hikes are not for the faint of heart... hikers should be prepared for extreme elevation, climbing over boulders, hiking through rivers and of course, lots and lots of nature!
This 3-day experience challenges participants to push their limits both physically and philanthropically. My personal goal is to raise $2,500 to support the foundation's mission of funding research to find a cure.
Help us accelerate progress. Until it's done. Be a force of nature in the fight to cure CF!
