    Story

    In July 2017 our son Tyler was diagnosed with a rare life-limiting genetic disorder called Fanconi Anaemia, which has caused bone marrow failure and is a predisposition to different cancers in childhood and later life.

    Throughout the school holiday we managed to tick as many items off of his wishlist as we could. The main one unfortunately we were unable to fulfil, which was for him to go abroad and swim with dolphins in the sea,.

    Tyler has been very fortunate that a perfectly matched bone marrow donor has been found, and is due to start chemotherapy in early 2018 in preparation for the transplant to take place, this will involve 6-8 weeks in hospital, followed by many months of recovery.

    Whilst a successfully bone marrow transplant will correct the bone marrow failure element of the condition, there is at present no cure for the cancer-predisposing condition.

    We are holding a fund raising event to help fulfil this wish, and at the same time help with a donation to the Fanconi Hope Charitable Trust, which was set up in 2008 by parents of FA-affected children and clinicians with an interest in FA to provide guidance and information for patients, families, clinicians and researchers
