The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's Xtreme Hike program came to Arkansas this year and took hikers through the beautiful Petit Jean State Park to raise funds and awareness for cystic fibrosis.
This was the first year for the Arkansas Chapter's Xtreme Hike. It is a pledge based fundraiser and the weekend's events were hosted at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute.
Lance and his brother Scott are participated in the hike and Uncle Cot and Aunt Rara were co-chairs of the event.
The hike ended up being 17.3 miles total and took the hikers all through Petit Jean mountain. Crosby and I went up for the weekend too and we even got a 3 miler in and met up with the hikers at Cedar Falls.
This was a fabulous event held by the Foundation and I am so grateful to Scott, Tara, Amanda, Misti, Melody and all the volunteers that helped make it such a success!!
I don't know how much the event raised in all, but I do know that the Crosby Show team raised over $8,000.00! Thank you to all our fans and supporters!!!

We have one more event this year. The Breath of Life Gala is on Saturday, October 17th. The evening includes a live and silent auction, cocktail hour and plated dinner, and live music. The Gala welcomes nearly 400 guests and funds raised help support the foundation's research and patient assistance and care programs.
