Join A Celebration of Life with ’65 Roses’

If you or someone you know has Cystic Fibrosis, you know how challenging it can be — and there is no cure. It is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive systems of children and adults.

You may recall our 2010 article about Nicole Sarvay who created 65 roses to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. The disease is often called “65 Roses” because it’s so much easier for children to pronounce.  That spurred Nicole to create her beautiful roses. Nicole’s story began when one of her newborn family members was diagnosed with this crippling disease.

Now there is something you can do too.
