How You Have Helped
Money raised for research has helped move Fanconi anemia, a fatal disease, from an orphaned status in 1989 to a disease with treatments that now buy precious time for FA patients.
Recognizing that the disease carries a significant risk of various cancers, FA has generated tremendous interest in the scientific world, many researchers speculating that it may hold the key to a cure for cancer.
As the genetic basis of Fanconi anemia continues to be deciphered and FA's role in the DNA repair pathway clarified, your donations are also having an impact on the lives of millions in the general population.
The tireless efforts of the Fanconi anemia Research Fund have demonstrated that a rare genetic disorder can provide a vital key to understanding the basic biological process of cancer itself. The importance of these efforts to the advancement of medical science cannot be overstated.
