Why We Hike
Meet Shea
Fighting CF since day 1!
Shea is the heart of everything we do. Living with Cystic Fibrosis means navigating daily treatments, hospital visits, and challenges most kids never face — yet Shea faces every single day with a smile that could light up any room (and any pool).
Cystic Fibrosis is a progressive genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. There is no cure — yet. Every dollar raised through the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation brings researchers one step closer to a world without CF.
