Climb to Cure Cystic Fibrosis
From iconic urban towers to fan-favorite local stadiums, CF Climb is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s premier stair climb event. Each year, thousands of participants take steps to raise funds for people living with cystic fibrosis, 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.
Get ready for an unforgettable experience that’s more than just a climb—it’s a chance to make a real impact! Imagine the thrill of reaching the top of an iconic building or arena, the sense of accomplishment, and the breathtaking views that await you—all while knowing you’ve made a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Join a community of climbers eager to make a difference while embracing the joy, challenges, and personal triumphs that come with reaching new heights. Whether you're an experienced climber or a first-timer, this event is designed for everyone. Challenge yourself, connect with others, and be inspired by the stories of those who benefit from your support. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to elevate your fitness, your spirit, and your impact.
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. Sign up today and take the first step towards changing lives! Help us find a cure for cystic fibrosis.

WASHINGTON - SEATTLE CHAPTER
Hogan Reed
Hogan Reed is a 29-year-old with cystic fibrosis. Diagnosed at age 3, she’s been laughing and coughing ever since. She loves hiking and camping — passions that led her to attend college in Vermont and, in 2022, take the leap to Seattle with her partner to chase adventures in the Pacific Northwest. When she’s not exploring, you'll find her working as a full-time graphic designer, treasure hunting at thrift stores, and hosting game nights. Hogan leads the Great Strides team “Team Hogan’s Heroes”, serves as a CF Peer Connect mentor, and has written for the CF Community Blog.
