Volunteers shaking buckets in Carlow and Kilkenny for ’65 Roses Day’

Bucket-shakers will be out in force today as the biggest fundraiser of the year for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland is underway.

They call it ’65 Roses Day’ because that’s how they teach children to be able to say the disease.

Volunteers will be in Carlow Shopping Centre, Fairgreen Shopping Centre, MacDonagh Junction Shopping Centre and the Eurospar in Newpark in Kilkenny.

Kelsey Nolan from Carlow has CF and she says the money raised today will go a long way.
