My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for Yosemite Xtreme Hike

Thankfully, the game-changing drugs that the CF Foundation has developed means Owen will continue to thrive and he can expect to live a long full life. But there is currently no cure for cystic fibrosis and others with CF continue to struggle and suffer life-shortening complications. I’m hiking to help change that reality.

CF is a genetic 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. We are blessed that Owen is so healthy, but 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.
