About CF
Cystic Fibrosis is the most common life-threatening recessive genetic condition affecting Australian children and young adults today.
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. The CF gene causes normal mucus to change into a thick, sticky substance, clogging the tiny air passages in the lungs and trapping bacteria. Repeated infections and blockages cause irreversible lung damage and, ultimately, death. People who have CF must have daily intensive chest therapy to combat the build up of mucus in the lungs. Most must also take digestive enzyme replacement tablets with food and drink to aid digestion. This can mean taking up to 40 tablets per day.
Here are some quick facts about CF
- Every 4 days a baby is born with CF
- There are more than 1 million carriers of the CF gene in Australia
- There are over 3,000 people living with CF in Australia
- CF is an inherited condition. For a child to be born with CF both parents must be genetic carriers
- Management and treatment of CF is lifelong, ongoing and relentless
- People with CF are not encouraged to socialise with each other due to the risk of cross-infection
- Due to advancements the average life expectancy of someone living with CF is now 37, but there are still many children who do not reach adulthood
- Life expectancy is 37 and as yet, there is no cure

65 Roses Month
CF is the most common, inherited, life threatening condition affecting young Australians. The average life expectancy for someone born today with CF is approximately 38 years. There is currently no cure.
The 65 Roses story dates back to 1965 when a young boy pronounced cystic fibrosis (CF) as 65 Roses. Since then, 65 Roses has been synonymous with our cause and the rose has been adopted as the national symbol for CF.
Our national fundraising campaign, 65 Roses, raises awareness and essential funds to extend and improve the quality of life for people with cystic fibrosis.
In 2017 we are aiming to raise $40,000 to enhance the programs and services that support people living with cystic fibrosis in Victoria and their families. With your help we can make a real difference.
How can you help this May?

We need YOUR help this 65 Roses Day, Friday 25 May 2018, to paint Western Australia with roses for people with cystic fibrosis.
Every year, community supporters and businesses join us to raise funds by selling beautiful fresh roses on the streets of Perth, in shopping centres, workplaces, schools and regional areas all over the state.
Got a unique fundraising idea? Why not take the 65 Roses Challenge during May. It could be a physical challenge to walk/run/swim 65km in the month, or you could bake cupcakes and sell them in your workplace. The sky is the limit, as long as you’re challenging yourself and raising funds for people with cystic fibrosis!
The funds raised from this event will help support our vital home care services and research funding for people living with cystic fibrosis in Western Australia.
