Choate’s most XTREME employees took on Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s XTREME Hike challenge this past weekend, hiking 30.1 miles all in the name of a cure for Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Not only did employees from across all five Choate offices train for three months prior to the official hike, they also worked to raise a whopping $44,000 for CF, making Team Choate the #1 XTREME Hike team!
“We are taking on this extreme endeavor in order to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Many children and adults with CF will not have the opportunity to take on a mountain or experience the wilderness without real progress toward a cure,” says Choate Assistant Project Manager and team leader Adam Hawthorne. “It provides us with great strength and courage to know that our actions are contributing to such a worthy cause.”
A big congratulations and thank you to Team Choate’s hikers!
