My Xtreme Hike Story

Fundraising for Zion Xtreme Hike 2026

William Ryan

This year, our family has committed to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s "Extreme Hike," an ambitious 16-mile trek through the rugged terrain of Zion National Park. This challenge is more than just a physical feat; it is a tribute to my 12-year-old son Ethan, who lives with CF every day. We are walking to honor his resilience and to push ourselves in solidarity with the thousands of individuals fighting for every breath. By taking on these miles, we hope to turn physical effort into tangible progress for the entire CF community.

To participate in this journey, our family has set a goal to each raise $3,500 for the CysticFibrosis Foundation ($14,000 total!).  These funds go directly toward pioneering research, drug development, and specialized care that have already added decades to the life expectancy of those with the disease. We would be deeply honored if you would consider making a donation to help us reach this milestone. Every dollar brings us one step closer to a future where "CF" stands for "Cure Found”. 

Thank you for standing with us and our son as we prepare to hit the trails in Zion!  By donating, you have the power to advance the research and science needed to drive our dream - a cure for everyone with CF.
