My Xtreme Hike Story

There is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and too many people with CF die young. I’m walking around Manhattan 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.
I walk directly for Kiran who has managed to stay incredibly healthy and has benefitted directly from medical advancements made in the last 10 years. 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.
