65 ROSES

65 ROSES 65ROSES is our boat. Its purpose is to create wonderful memories with family and friends. Everyday is precious! Make them count. Mary G. Mary was speechless.

"65 Roses" is what some children with cystic fibrosis (CF) call their disease because the words are much easier for them to pronounce. Weiss became a volunteer for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 1965 after learning that her three little boys had CF. Her duty was to call every civic club, social and service organization seeking financial support for CF research. Mary's 4-year-old son, Richard, l

istened closely to his mother as she made each call. After several calls, Richard came into the room and told his Mom, "I know what you are working for." Mary was dumbstruck because Richard did not know what she was doing, nor did he know that he had cystic fibrosis. With some trepidation, Mary asked, "What am I working for, Richard?" He answered, "You are working for 65 Roses." He could not see the tears running down Mary's cheeks as she stammered, "Yes Richard, I'm working for 65 Roses." Since 1965, the term "65 Roses" has been used by children of all ages to describe their disease. But, making it easier to say does not make CF any easier to live with. The "65 Roses" story has captured the hearts and emotions of all who have heard it. The rose, appropriately the ancient symbol of love, has become a symbol of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
65 Roses® is a registered trademark of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and is being used as our boats name with permission from the Foundation. Our 65ROSES was named by Paul, Mary Kate and Bobby with the sole reason of reminding us not of Cystic Fibrosis and the constant battle against the disease but the importance of each and every day. Every day is a gift and we must make the most of it. The time on 65ROSES will create memories with family and friends that will carry on forever. Thanks for spending time with us creating wonderful memories and thank you for making this moment one to appreciate. With Love….The Coughlin Family
