Here's why this day is special to our community

The
65 Roses story ([link removed])
dates back to 1965 when 4-year-old Ricky Weiss, hearing the name of his disease for the first time, pronounced cystic fibrosis as "65 Roses." The term took off for young children and today, "65 Roses" is referenced by children with CF around the world to pronounce the name of their disease.

On June 5 -- 65 Roses Day -- we honor the legacy of the Weiss family and the 65 Roses story. Anthony Weiss, who is now 58 years old, with cystic fibrosis and brother of the late Ricky, has shown remarkable resilience. Despite having CF and losing both of his brothers to the disease, Anthony continues to pursue life to its fullest.

Today we celebrate the collective power, determination, and resiliency, not only of Anthony, but of our entire cystic fibrosis community. Although we have made a lot of progress in combatting CF, we also recognize our work will not be finished until there is a cure for every person with this disease.

On this special day, we ask you to support our efforts by
joining the 65 Roses Club with a monthly donation ([link removed]). By becoming a monthly donor, you can help us accelerate innovative research, as we work to advance more therapies and ultimately a cure for CF.
