News on two European FA Groups:

The revamped French FA group AFMF’s website (www.fanconi.com)  is now live. An approximate English translation courtesy of Google Translate can be viewed here. Congratulations are due to Marie-Pierre Bichet and her team on an impressive result.

Fanconi Hope has been in discussion with Steven’s Association Moonrise, an FA charity in Belgium founded in April 2009. The organisers of the Charity have said they are happy to offer their services to, and collaborate with, Fanconi Hope in whatever way is most beneficial and we have responded likewise. Collaboration in funding research is one such area to be explored further.

Steven’s Association Moonrise is a non profit making organisation which has been launched in memory of Steven Keyes. Steven’s Association Moonrise is dedicated to raising money for the purpose of research into and raising awareness about Fanconi anaemia (FA) and its associated problems. Funds raised by Steven’s Association Moonrise will be used to support treatment iniatives for Fanconi Anaemia and the associated challenges this condition poses for successful stem cell/bone marrow transplant and cancer prevention and treatment.
