65 Roses Day (6/5) is around the corner! Are you familiar with the “65 Roses” story?
The “65 Roses” story began in 1965 when a 4-year-old, hearing the name of his disease for the first time, pronounced cystic fibrosis as “65 Roses.” Today, it’s a term many children with CF still use to describe their disease. But making the disease easier to say doesn’t make it easier to live with.
Learn how you can help accelerate our mission to cure CF by joining the 65 Roses Club: https://www.cff.org/get-involved/become-monthly-donor
