Team Cuz We’re Cousins! The name says it all. I hike for my cousins who have been battling CF for more than 30 years now. With fundraising and research, new drugs and therapies have meant that they have seen significant improvement in their health. 

But there is still no cure for cystic fibrosis, so 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 CF 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?
