My Xtreme Hike Story

Shortly after my niece was born she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and given a life expectancy of 37 years of age.
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.
My family is proud to share that through fundraisers like the Xtreme Hike, researchers have been able to develop new therapies and medications that have now extended Norah's life expectancy in to her 50s. They still have a long way to go however as the same medications that work for Norah don't work for everyone with CF. Can you help find a cure by supporting our hike and mission to raise funds?
