My Story…
I am once again running in the in the 5 km race as part of TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon charity challenge in aid of Fanconi Canada. I am counting on your continued generosity as we raise money to fight Fanconi anemia, a rare but deadly genetic disorder that causes bone marrow failure and head and neck cancers in children and young adults. All money raised funds medical research.
Description
Donate to help [participant] raise funds for Fanconi Canada to advance research in Canada into effective treatments for Fanconi anemia and related cancers.
Fanconi Canada has committed over $400,000 to support the work of the BC Cancer Agency as part of the Fanconi Anemia Cancer Consortium (FACC), a collaborative partnership between the FA community and a network of clinicians and physician scientists who have expertise in the diagnosis and management of FA cancers and FA cancer research.
Fanconi Canada also co-sponsored the 2023 Scientific Symposium in Vancouver in September. The Symposium focusses on five key areas relevant to FA research: gene therapy, bone marrow failure, DNA repair, manifestations of FA that affect quality of life, and cancer.
