Hi! I’m Maddie O'Reilly, and I’m proud to be the ambassador for this year’s Virginia Xtreme Hike to cure Cystic Fibrosis!
 

Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up, leading to persistent lung infections and challenges with breathing and nutrition. It’s a tough condition — and for my family, it’s personal.
 

I’m one of three siblings living with CF. We've faced countless hospital visits, treatments, and challenges — but also moments of strength, resilience, and hope. That’s why this cause means so much to me.
 

Every dollar raised goes toward life-changing medications, groundbreaking research, and — most importantly — hope for a cure. We've seen firsthand how recent advancements have extended and improved lives. But there’s still a long way to go — and we can't stop now.
 

Please consider supporting this fundraiser. Whether through a donation or by spreading the word, you're helping families like mine keep climbing — toward longer, healthier lives.
 

Thank you so much for being part of this journey!!
