'I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds round my neck'

Cystic Fibrosis. Easy to say isn't it?........ Now, ask a four year old to say it.

Not quite the same?!
Sixty-Five Roses is a charity created when Fiona and Suzi realised it would be easier to call this life limiting disease something a bit less clinical and a lot easier to say
Suzi's daughter Billi-Grace was born with the disease, and Fiona and Suzi, along with the kind support of Waitrose and the John Lewis Partnership, have made it their mission to make people aware of it and let them know how they can help.

There's the history...... now, we need YOU (and lots of roses)

We have a room at Feren's Art Gallery (Hull) to fill with roses......we have a Valentine's Ball to auction them off..... and we have an empty space where our logo should be.

Can you help?

Send us a rose..... let your imagination run wild - anything goes!

Paint, papier machier, even solid gold if you are feeling classy *ahem*

You rose will be put on display in the local art gallery and voted for...... the winner will be made into our logo.

All roses will be auctioned off at our Valentine's Ball in February....... so the better it is, the more money we make for people like Billi-Grace.

We would love roses from everybody - if you are a business, incorporate your logo, if you are famous, incorporate your autograph (and perhaps a lovely signed photo hehe)......... the list goes on.

Every last rose counts and will make a difference.

Please contact myself for more information :)

God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.
