I pray there is a "Miracle" behind the tragedy of this disease...for it is well documented that researchers world wide are learning more and more that equal to the extreme rareness of Fanconi Anemia is counter matched by concentrated properties and similarities that with continued research could unveil a cure for cancer and Leukemia as well. That truly would be a breakthrough for all mankind not just the rare several thousand Fanconi Anemia cases reported globally. The urgency of continued research is also why I created this Web Site to generate a comradery of Fundraising efforts, volunteers and contributions to The Fanconi Anemia Research Fund. I also donate 20% of my web site design fee to the Research Fund as well at my other site:

The average age of death usually occurs between 3- 13 years of age.In a great many patients, the first sign of FA is the appearance of aplastic anemia, a condition in which the bone marrow does not produce enough red cells, white cells or platelets to protect the body and allow the
Children afflicted with Fanconi Anemia and their families would so much benefit from donated Frequent Flyer Miles for emergency flights to Children's Hospitals!
Please Help us in making this Possible for Families struggling with this Brutal Childhood Disease.
