Many of you will already know Bob & Jeannie Dalgleish and their daughter Louise, who has a rare condition known as Fanconi Anaemia. Fanconi Anaemia is a rare genetic disorder mainly affecting children.
The Fanconi Hope Charity is a national charitable trust set up by parents of Fanconi Anaemia (FA) affected children and clinicians with an interest in FA:-
- To support a UK Fanconi Anaemia National Registry so as to ensure Fanconi Anaemia affected children and their families are kept track of and provided with the best care.
- To promote awareness and understanding of Fanconi Anaemia among affected families, the medical profession, and the general public.
- To encourage translational research which may directly benefit Fanconi Anaemia affected children and their families.
- To encourage research in the area of Fanconi Anaemia that may have benefit for the general public, e.g., in the treatment of cancers in general.
