Each May, Australia observes 65 Roses Month, focusing on Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in Australia to highlight the growing need for awareness about cystic fibrosis (CF). The last Friday is 65 Roses Day.
Children with cystic fibrosis call the disease 65 Roses because it is easier to pronounce (like when a child says ‘butter footed’ instead of ‘barefooted.’The name stuck and is now the official terminology for Cystic Fibrosis.
Throughout May in Australia, volunteers and people with CF and their families unite to help shine a spotlight on what CF is and the progress made toward a cure.
The United States also observes Cystic Fibrosis Month in May.
Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that:
Cystic Fibrosis clogs the lungs, leads to life-threatening lung infections, obstructs the pancreas, and stops natural enzymes from helping the body break down and absorb food.
In the 1950s, few children with Cystic Fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and adults with CF. Many people with the disease can now expect to live into their 30s, 40s, and beyond.
The symbol of Cystic Fibrosis is 65 roses.
