News & Events
Fear and sadness are embedded with Fanconi anemia (FA), yet I have always tried to have a hopeful tone to my essays thinking of the effect on the families who read it. This one is no different. I lost my gutsy 24-year-old daughter Tara in September. She was created by God for purpose. I always told her she brought out the best in people.
These projects, made possible through the commitment of FCF and our funding partner, Fanconi Canada, advance collaborative research that is improving early detection, guiding cancer prevention strategies, and laying the groundwork for future treatments.
