About CF:
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States. More than 10 million Americans are unknowing, symptomless carriers of a defective CF gene.

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.

Cystic fibrosis is more than a lung disease. It is a genetic disease that affects the lungs, pancreas, and other organs. Diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at 31, Kristen Chidsey never fit the traditional picture of CF. What carried her through was individualized care and the unwavering support of the CF community.

“For years, I carried a collection of unexplained health issues that never quite added up. I didn’t cough, I didn’t wheeze, and nothing about me fit the traditional picture of cystic fibrosis.” Link to read the article: https://www.cff.org/community-posts/2026-02/diagnosis-i-never-expected

Cystic fibrosis has many sides, both visible and invisible. From navigating insurance and hospital stays to celebrating milestones and sharing personal stories, every person’s CF journey is different.

Cystic fibrosis is not always visible, and there is no cure. Behind everyday moments are invisible burdens like hours of daily treatments, countless pills, hospital stays, and more.
