Cystic Fibrosis 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. There is currently no cure. While progress has been made, a long road lies ahead, and for those with CF there are no days off. 

That’s why for thirteen years an incredible community of folks have gathered together for a full day hike to raise money and awareness for CF. And this year, I am excited to join the team for my first Xtreme hike. 25 miles in one day through the Berkshire Mountains in Massachusetts. 

By donating to my fundraising goal, you are doing much more than supporting me (although for your belief in my capabilities, I am grateful), you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our shared dream forward – a cure for everyone with CF.

Thank you for reading, for your kindness, and for your support :)
