Why Hunt For A Cure

Pete Odland founded Hunt for a Cure in 2001 in honor of his four-year-old son, Dylan, who has cystic fibrosis. When Pete learned of his son’s terminal disease, he knew he had to join the fight to cure Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The next couple years Pete helped with the existing fund raisers. But Pete wanted to do more and one day while sitting in his tree stand he came up with the idea of Hunt for a Cure. Pete couldn't wait to get started. Because his enthusiasm was contagious he soon had a committee of highly ambitions and dedicated people. With the strong committee that Pete had assembled, success was only a matter of time. Pete wanted to get a major sponsor who would be a good fit for the event so he approached Scent-Lok. One of the officers in Scent-Lok had lost two sisters to CF, so they immediately embraced Hunt for a Cure and became the title sponsor. Since that time the event has grown in leaps and bounds.
Hunt for a Cure has generated more than $500,000 for CF research. This event brings together over 100’s of sportsmen, women and children from all over Western Michigan .
CF is a genetic disease that causes the body to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus leading to life-threatening lung infections. By investing in CF research, you are investing in the lives of those with the disease. Money buys science and science buys life. Through Hunt for a Cure we can give the children and adults with CF the quality of life and future they deserve.
The mission of the Hunt for a Cure organization is to assist with the funding to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease.

Testimonial

I am Kim Morse, chairperson of Kruisin’For Kylie and a committee member of hunt for a cure. At only seven months old, my daughter Kylie was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF is a genetic disease that affects roughly 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. A defective gene (one from each parent) causes the body to produce an abnormally thick, sticky mucus. This abnormal mucus leads to chronic and life threatening lung infections and it also impairs the digestive system. I knew at that time that I had to do something to fight this dreadful disease. Kruisin’ For Kylie to raise money to find a cure for my daughter and the 30,000 children and adults became my mission.
This event is a way for our community to come together and support the fight against CF and celebrate life. Although there is currently no cure, the great strides that continue to be made in research give us much hope, and optimism about the future of those with this devastating disease. Money buys science and science buys lives. These children and adults gain a year of life expectancy for every year of research.
I believe that we have a chance to shoot for the stars! But the stars can’t be reached unless we have funds to provide the transportation. I have three things that this obstacle does not: I have hope, I have all of you and I have faith. That is why I am asking you to take Kylie and everybody that has CF on a one-way ticket to the stars. They are very close to finding a cure. The only thing they need is money for research.
As a parent of a CF child, I have committed myself to do everything possible to assist in eradicating this debilitating and fatal disease that threatens to take my daughter away from me. Kylie is no different than any other child. She is able (and encouraged) to do all activities like everyone else. Kylie is a wonderful and beautiful girl, but most of all, she is my world.
