The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Xtreme Hikes are an incredible way to raise awareness and funding for cystic fibrosis, while putting your personal endurance to the test. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. While progress has been made, we still lose precious lives to CF every day.
When you participate in an Xtreme Hike, you join others who want to make an impact while experiencing the joy, challenges, and personal triumphs associated with hiking through some of our nation’s most scenic and rugged trails.
An Xtreme Hike is more than just a hike; it's a remarkable adventure. According to many in our community, it’s an experience that stands out. This all-inclusive, weekend-long event pushes you to your limits, with hikes of up to 30 miles in some locations, all while making a difference in the lives of those with CF.
Your participation is crucial in helping us achieve our shared dream of a CF cure. To achieve this goal, more research is essential, requiring a very substantial investment. Even after a cure is found, customized care will be needed for generations to treat long-lasting health problems, making continued donor support vital. Fundraising is critical to advance our mission, and now is the time to act. Help us find a cure for cystic fibrosis.
