Cystic Fibrosis. http://www.cysticfibrosis.org.au/all/about-cf/ 

Our Club supports research into Cystic Fibrosis through general donations and direct member participation in CF funding events, such as "The Great Escape" variety style car rally held annually.


Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-threatening genetic disorder. It severely affects the lungs and digestive system. There is currently no cure. However, with improved medication and treatment to manage symptoms, life expectancy has been extended considerably.


This beautiful song explains to a sibling that her sister has Cystic Fibrosis.
The lyrics use the rhyming similarities between "Cystic Fibrosis" and "65 Roses"

When I was just a small child, my mum and daddy came to me,
They sat me down and told me of the flowers my sister received,
65 roses of yellow and red,
they made her so tired she had to stay in bed,
I just couldn't believe the flowers my sister received,
Made it so hard for her to breath.
Why does she have 65 roses,
It must be her birthday today,
She must have been good to get 65 roses,
Why can't she come out to play?
65 roses of yellow and red,
made her so tired she had to stay in bed.
I looked all around but I couldn't find the 65 roses,
They were all in my mind.
I've grown up and I see that the only one thinking of roses was me,
And the reason that the 65 roses came was because I was too young to understand the name.
65 roses, cystic fibrosis, made her so tired she had to stay in bed.
65 roses, cystic fibrosis, I wish she had roses instead.
65 roses, cystic fibrosis, I wish that she could come out to play,
life, one supposes, I wish that she could come out to plan,
life, one supposes, is no bed of roses,
I wish she had roses instead,
