Just completed my first hike of the year yesterday to begin my training. Super excited to have the opportunity to do the Xtreme Hike for the third year running.

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. This disease affects me on a personal level through two of my cousins who were diagnosed at very young age. Thankfully, they are both doing very well, but it would mean the world to them and so many others if they could be freed of this disease.
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. While many medical advancements have been made to lengthen the life span of those affected, our ultimate goal is to find a cure. 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?
