Team Up to Cure Cystic Fibrosis

Step up to the challenge and join a Team CF event that’s more than just exhilarating—it’s life-changing. Whether you’re paddling through waves, catching the perfect surf, skiing down slopes, or cycling with your crew, every Team CF participant is committed to helping find a cure for 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. 


Team CF isn’t just another team event; it’s a powerful movement to save lives. Gather your friends, family, or colleagues, and turn your love for adventure into a mission that matters.

 

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 for a Team CF event and take the first step towards changing lives! Help us find a cure for cystic fibrosis.

2025 National Ambassadors

Meet your 2025 National Ambassadors, Alexis Vargas and Caroline Lewis!

KENTUCKY-WEST VIRGINIA CHAPTER

Alexis Vargas

Alexis was not diagnosed with cystic fibrosis until she was 5 years old. Despite chronic lung infections and violent coughing episodes, the military hospital where she was born never tested her for CF. After receiving her diagnosis, the Vargas family walked in their first Great Strides. This is Alexis’ 14th year participating, and she now walks in the Lexington/Winchester walk.

NORTH CAROLINE CHAPTER

Caroline Lewis

Caroline was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 10 days old. She is a champion for the North Carolina Xtreme Hike community, and has participated in three Xtreme Hikes since she was able to start hiking at 14. When she was an infant in 2010, her dad participated in the inaugural North Carolina Xtreme Hike while she did nebulizers from the car.
