Sixty-Five Roses
"Sixty-Five Roses" is a term often used to describe the genetic disorder known as cystic fibrosis. This condition affects the lungs and digestive system, leading to difficulty breathing and problems with nutrient absorption. The name comes from the way young children sometimes pronounce "cystic fibrosis," making it sound like "sixty-five roses."
The phrase has also been adopted by various organizations to raise awareness and funds for cystic fibrosis research and support. Events and campaigns often use "Sixty-Five Roses" to symbolize hope and the fight against this challenging disease, encouraging community involvement and education.
