Just as each individual rose comes together to form a beautiful bouquet, each monthly gift contributes to help make CF stand for Cure Found.
On June 5 – 65 Roses Day – we tell the 65 Roses story and celebrate the resiliency, determination, and heart the CF community shows month after month.
The story dates back to 1965 when an observant 4-year-old named Ricky, hearing the name of his disease for the first time, pronounced cystic fibrosis as "65 Roses".
Today, “65 Roses” is a term often used by young children with cystic fibrosis to pronounce the name of their disease and is a meaningful symbol to many living with CF.
This year, add to our 65 Roses bouquet by joining the 65 Roses Club, our monthly giving program which enables us to accelerate innovative research and advance care for those living with cystic fibrosis. By becoming a monthly donor, you can help people living with CF reach milestones, make more memories, and accomplish their dreams.
