Xtreme Hike for The Cure

Published April 1, 2019 by Katie 10 Comments

Each year, FiltersFast.com’s Founder and CEO, Ray, challenges himself mentally and physically as he hikes 30.1 miles of the Appalachian Trail.

Are you wondering why he does this?

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited, life-threatening disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system and the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. The fluids that this disorder produces can become thick and sticky and can end up blocking tubes, ducts, and passageways.
At FiltersFast.com, we believe that it is our responsibility to give back to the community, especially if it’s a cause that aligns with our mission. Because Cystic Fibrosis affects the lungs, so it’s no question that we would want to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Xtreme Hike for the Cure.
Not only does Ray hike each year–we are also proud to have been a sponsor of the hike for the past few years!

Ray has participated in the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Xtreme Hike for the Cure every year since 2013. In 2018, we were able to raise $27,899 to help fight CF! With the support of amazing vendors, our customers and partners, we were able to reach our goal of $30,000+ for the 2019 hike.

To learn more, click here.

Personally, the hike always proves challenging and training is a critical part of the hike…it is a huge time commitment, but nothing compared to the time those with CF have to spend on treatments every day.  I am inspired by other hikers who have CF or have family members that have CF and am excited to help them all move closer to the day that CF stands for Cure Found!  Thank you again for your generous support. -Ray

    I have a 65-yr-old brother who is living with CF, so I truly appreciate your support of Cystic Fibrosis research. Thank you, and safe hiking!

    What an awesome company, to come together for this very important (life changing!) cause!
    My 11 year old grandson has CF, and we walk every year. The first Great Strides walk we attended was on his first birthday.
    I’m thinking someone in the family there has CF , bringing you all to this great deed. May a cute be found SOON for all!
