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.”

Read Kristen’s story:

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.

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.
