Today we launch Team Riley Marley’s “65 days for 65 Roses” Great Strides Fundraiser for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  The event will take place on Saturday, March 14th, 2026. We will meet at the North Peak Lodge around 1:30 and the run will begin at 2:00pm.  This will allow us to celebrate, allow time for Riley to give out the roses, take a group photo, and thank everyone for the endless love and support! And of course, continue the celebrations apres at the Matterhorn!
 

This year’s primary fundraiser is a walk at Slater Park in Pawtucket , RI on May 9th, 2025.  All the details to join her team, donate, or sign up to walk with us are below.  You can even join our team as a walker and raise donations on her behalf that will go directly towards her team.
 
    In the last 10 years with the help of all our amazing family and friends, we have raised close to $175,000 and we have been lucky enough to be chosen as the RI chapter Ambassadors for the CF Foundation for about 8 years now. It’s really a tribute to our family and friends in our lives that have been so kind in helping forward our belief and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s mission that CF will soon stand for Cure Found.  

   This last year has been amazing for Riley.  Her fun loving nature and endless supply of energy and joy is contagious and also contributes to keeping her in great health.  While everyday exercise, medications, and nutrition is really important to maintaining her good health, Riley has taken it to a new level.  You may remember this amazing event we started in 2017! This year her skiing and snowboarding has taken on a whole new meaning for us and has her reaching higher heights. 

We first found out Riley was diagnosed with CF half way through the pregnancy  with an abnormal ultrasound finding of an echogenic bowel and we honestly weren’t sure what would lie ahead of us as a family. Initially we were told to expect the worst, frequent infections, hospitalizations, and poor quality of life. When she was born, she was immediately admitted to the NICU and was unable to have any food for almost 2 weeks, and on day of life 4 she underwent major abdominal surgery. During this NICU stay is when we first realized the fight within this little lady. She was admitted again to Hasbro Children’s Hospital after her second surgery at about 7 weeks old and again when she was almost 3 years old. With our amazing CF care team at Hasbro Children’s Hospital, Kingstown Pediatrics, and persistence with her treatment regimens, regular exercise and good nutrition we have been able to keep Riley heathy.

“65 Roses” has been a term used in the Cystic Fibrosis community since 1965 when a four year old boy said it in place of the name of his disease. Since then it’s been used in helping kids pronounce Cystic Fibrosis, as well as being a symbol for fundraising efforts, logos for the foundation, etc.   As Riley started to approach 50 days of skiing in early March, in 2017 we realized she may reach 65 days and it clicked.  Riley could ski 65 days in honor of “65 Roses” to help raise funds and awareness for the Great Strides Walk. 

   To kick this years fundraiser off right we are formally inviting anyone who will be in the Sunday River area on Saturday, March 14th,  to join Riley Marley for a run from The top of North Peak  lift  (meet outside North Peak Lodge) in honor of Riley’s “65 Days for 65 Roses”.  And head to Matterhorn Ski Bar for celebrations apres!

We would be honored to see you on the slopes March 14th,  or for the walk on May 9th in Pawtucket, RI.  



Thank you all for your support over the years and your future support until CF stands for Cure Found.
