My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for 15th Annual Xtreme Hike Massachusetts 2026

Brad Waterson

I'm once again participating in the Cystic Fibrosis Xtreme Hike in 2026.  The past few years have been great fun hiking with the Xtreme Hike crew.  Mother Nature threw us a curveball last year with 4+ inches of rain and thunder cutting our hike short.  We are returning again this year to the Berkshires for the traditional 26+ miles.  As a new twist, my daughter Amanda is old enough to hike and has asked to join.
 

This will be my 6th hike, I think, and your generous donations have helped me to raise close to $20000 toward research for a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.  

Please help me to raise the bar in 2026.

Cheers and thanks for your help,

Brad
 

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.  

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.
