Overcoming Cystic Fibrosis through Paddleboarding in Kalispell
Rylee Riekena, a young woman from Kalispell diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, has found paddleboarding to be a positive outlet for her health. She will be participating in the Crossing for CF, a fundraising event that helps spread awareness and fundraise for the Piper’s Angels Foundation. Rylee and her relay team are fundraising for the event and Piper’s Angels Foundation. Saltwater, low elevation, and humidity have huge health benefits for people with cystic fibrosis, which draws them to warm climates like Florida.
