About Fanconi Anemia and FCF
Fanconi anemia (known as FA) is a genetic DNA repair disease that can affect every system of the body. In people with FA, cells have less ability to repair themselves and as a result, errors in these cells will increase over time, causing cancer and often bone marrow failure. The Fanconi Cancer Foundation (FCF) is the leading organization worldwide dedicated to curing this disease. 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.

News & Events
I am a poet, a writer, and a storyteller. I’m also a student, and an older brother to a young man with FA and special needs. I’m a DACA recipient. I’m here. I’m present. I am more than my current mental state, and more than this diagnosis.
People with rare diseases like FA often rely on a combination of healthcare programs and insurance coverage. Any change that reduces access to care or increases out-of-pocket costs can have real-world consequences for our community.
