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.

Our walkers, team leaders, volunteers, and so many more make Great Strides more than just an event — it’s a movement. Alongside our Great Strides sponsors: Vertex, AbbVie, and Nestle Health Science, we can help end cystic fibrosis.

Have you taken, or are you currently taking, a cystic fibrosis modulator like Kalydeco, Orkambi, Symdeko, Trikafta, or Alyftrek? Join the next CF Circle, a virtual small-group discussion, on May 19 at 7 p.m. ET to talk openly about physical and mental health changes that may have come with modulators.

CF Circles are a space to share, support each other, and hear from people who understand what you’re going through. This session is open to adults with cystic fibrosis.

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.”

I had an unexpected cystic fibrosis diagnosis at 31 and later learned that both of my children had CFTR-related disorder. What carried us through was individualized care and the unwavering support of the CF community.

We are so grateful for everyone who came out to this year’s Tulsa Great Strides! 💙

Thank you to all of our amazing teams, families, volunteers, and supporters for making the day so special. This community continues to show up with so much heart, and we are so thankful for each and every one of you.

Until CF stands for Cure Found. 💜

The impact of cystic fibrosis isn’t always visible. There are nearly 40,000 people living with cystic fibrosis in the United States, and everyone’s experience with the disease is unique. In honor of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, help us spread information about this complex disease.
