Welcome to my ROSE UP page!!
I just turned 65 in August, and on September 12, 2026, I will be cycling 65 miles to raise awareness and funds the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! My fundraising event is part of a larger campaign known as ROSE UP, an annual fundraising effort led by adults with CF.
Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease that causes breathing problems, lung infections, digestive complications and other invasive issues. As a father of someone afflicted with this disease, I am trying to do my part to help the Foundation provide funds for services that people with CF need, along with research towards effective treatments and eventually a cure.
"65 Roses" is a phrase coined by a 4-year-old boy in 1965 who was unable to pronounce the name of his Cystic Fibrosis condition, and the phrase has become symbolic of efforts to eradicate the disease.
Participants are encouraged to choose an activity that is meaningful to them to complete by ROSE UP Day (September 17). I am combining my passion for cycling with my advocacy and support! Thus, my campaign 65 miles for 65 Roses at 65.
In recent years, incredible progress has been made in the development of therapies to make the disease survivable and manageable. However, due to the specific nature of the disease, many people (including my daughter) cannot benefit from the best ones. Eventually we look forward to a day when CF stands for "Cure Found."
Please help by joining those who donate to this important ROSE UP effort! When you do, help us raise awareness by sharing your story and tagging #ROSEUPCF on social media. You can make a powerful difference for people living with CF!!
Thank you for your support.
Let’s ROSE UP together!
