My Xtreme Hike Story

Hello! I'm a 24 year old researcher and PhD student working to Cure Cystic Fibrosis as well as a person with Cystic Fibrosis
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.
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.
The CF mantra is “Until It’s Done” and it is not yet done. The CFF has shown us how effective concerted efforts to address treatment for genetic conditions can be. CF used to be a disease of childhood. Today, 57% of those diagnosed and living with CF are adults. This is a blessing but also brings new treatment challenges. The future is bright but research and clinical trials cost money.
