City of Devonport Lions were out in force today, as were other North West Lions Club members, all collecting for Cystic Fibrosis. Today is the annual 65 Roses day, so named after a child said his sister was special because she had 65 roses... He could not pronounce Cystic Fibrosis.
Pictured above is Lion Walter, a person with Cystic Fibrosis himself, happily collecting hundreds of dollars for the Tasmanian CF Association in Rooke Street Mall, Devonport. The collected money remains within Tasmania and is used to support families affected with Cystic Fibrosis in our community. We recently had some heavy blows, losing some very special Tasmanian young people.
Walter is climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo in July in aid of Cystic Fibrosis, highlighting the need for organ donation and spreading awareness and inspiration.
