In preparation for this years 65 Roses Day we are asking people with public profile to provide a photo and words of encouragement inviting the general public to participate in 65 Roses Day.

65 Roses Day raises money to help people with Cystic Fibrosis live longer.

Since the 1980's the average life expectancy has increased from 17 to 37. But it's still only 37. Through better standards of care, infection control and research we can extend life.

This years 65 Roses Day campaign focuses on the theme of "Seize the Day" and features videos of 5 CF heroes. At birth each of our heroes was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Faced with the reality of pain, illness and a short life each is fighting
the odds and living their dreams with passion. Their stories are truly inspirational.

As an achiever in your own field we ask you to provide a short comment to inspire people to get behind our heroes and participate in 65 Roses Day so that all people with Cystic Fibrosis have the chance to seize the day.

Please provide your comment below.
