My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for 15th Annual Xtreme Hike Massachusetts 2026
Erica Messina
There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m hiking to help change that reality.
Hiking for the CF foundation was one of the greatest accomplishments I have ever done! Two years ago we did almost 27 miles and I couldn’t wait to do it again to support this great cause!
I work with so many kids with CF that have really opened my eyes to how much it affects their lives.
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.
