the season of giving

Hello Everyone,

I hope the season is treating you well!

Often this time of year, we ask family and friends, friends we may or may not know who read our blogs, as well as random passerbys who happen to walk within a certain radius of us, to please consider donating to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund (www.fanconi.org).

As many of you know, our daughter, Emma, was born with Fanconi Anemia (FA). It's super rare, so almost the only way they get any money for research is from parents begging people to donate. There is no ongoing public support, since the public is unaware. There are FA researchers who think if they can unlock the mysteries of FA cancer, then it could potentially cure anyone with cancer. So, while FA is rare, it could potentially have a big impact on everyone.

I made a little video about my girl to explain FA, as well as to show some of what her life is like. Everything shared in this movie was done so with Emma's approval and help. She's old enough now that we feel like we need to respect her privacy.

Please consider donating, even if all you can manage right now is $1 or $5. If everyone donated, even just a tiny bit, it would end up being a lot!

Thanks so much!
