More than four decades ago, Lynn Frohnmayer was a mother searching for answers after learning that three of her five children had Fanconi anemia. There was no roadmap and no established network of families or experts. Information was scarce, treatments were limited, and the future her family had been given was devastating.
A Beacon of Support
Fanconi Cancer Foundation
Our mission is to improve the lives of people affected by Fanconi anemia and associated cancers worldwide by funding exceptional research and empowering our community.
Founded in 1989 by parents Lynn and David Frohnmayer, FCF’s contributions have been instrumental in understanding the disease and improving treatments, with more than $33 million funded for 260+ research projects worldwide. Life expectancy has more than doubled as treatments have drastically improved. We must now take on the most significant and currently unsolved problem facing the FA community today: cancer.
