Advancing scientific discoveries into treatments that improve health and quality of life for people with FA can be accelerated by your contribution to and participation in fundraising activities such as individual donations, grassroots fundraisers and corporate partnership and sponsorship.

Since its inception in 1998, FARA has raised over $10 Million for FA research. These funds directly supported some of our milestone achievements such as understanding the underlying cause of the disease and discovery of potential treatments. Our challenge is to accelerate the evaluation of potential therapies and keep our treatment pipeline full of diverse treatments that slow, stop and reverse FA.

Fundraising not only provides valuable financial resources, but it increases public awareness of FA, and builds our community.

With Your Help We Will Find a Cure

The chart below demonstrates some of the ways you can be involved and provide the resources FARA needs to reach our goal: cure FA. Fueled by funding, research moves faster towards treatments and a cure. New ideas are always welcome!
