Peeps!!! On May 31st, some cousins and I are hiking 25 miles to cure Cystic Fibrosis! In the past 10+ years of hiking we have fundraised tons of cash, and there have been huge improvements in treatment of CF, bringing hope to so many families like ours. We are still hiking, because there is not yet a cure, and there are many folks with CF who are not able to benefit from the treatments that are out there. I saw what this was like when my cousins were younger, and it's a difficult journey with scary outcomes. Please help us in our fight by donating to our Xtreme fundraiser. We appreciate you!

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.
