65 Roses Day

This Friday, April 10th, is 65 Roses Day. 

This year, we have had to cancel all public collections due to take place on 65 Roses Day due to COVID-19.. 65 Roses Day was targeted to raise €200,000 to help fund essential supports and services for people with Cystic Fibrosis, which are needed more than ever at this time.

In a bid to help continue raise awareness of cystic fibrosis and  promote 65 Roses Day, members of the CF Community have been sharing their stories.

Patient stories and testimonials from the CF Community are key to Cystic Fibrosis Ireland's campaigns are crucial in communicating the impact of cystic fibrosis to the public.

You can read some of the stories and media articles below.
