My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for Virginia Xtreme Hike

Currently there is no cure for cystic fibrosis.

I am hiking to help change that reality.  Every $ raised will go to more research, more trials, more medication development, and so much more.   All this means a better future to those affected by Cystic Fibrosis.  

I have seen the many steps that are taken, the daily challenges, all the meds, all the breathing treatments, the worries, the hope, and the happiness that it was a good day. 
 
I believe in this fundraiser. I have personally seen the progress over the past 16 years in a close family friend and all those affected by Cystic Fibrosis at the events that I have attended.  I have followed the research and all the great strides that have been accomplished.  Life spans are longer, health conditions are less, daily activities are much better, participating in sports can be achieved. 

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.
