Worldwide Trek 2024
ArE YOU READY TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE?
In 2019 Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Canada joined forces with a group of 60 supporters to complete the first Worldwide Trek, the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru. In 2022, we had our second Trek along the Laugavegur Trail through the Icelandic Lava Fields and in 2023 our third Trek had participants trekking through the Sahara Desert in Morocco.
Our trekkers have a raised a combined total of $830,000 to support CF Canada's work to improve the lives of every Canadian living with CF. If you want to have an impact on people living with CF and make memories that will last a lifetime this Trek is for you! Please join us this year for the 2024 Worldwide Trek: Challenge Costa Rica!
