Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My personal focus is too lose weight whilst giving something back.I've been given the privilege of playing a role in 2 of my lifelong friends special day and this will mean something to them. If it means something to them then it means something to me. By keeping a focus on  helping others should push me forward in achieving my own goals.  This charity I plan to support is Fanconi Hope.  

I'll be keeping a blog and record of my progress at http://rogermclean.blogspot.co.uk/ for anyone interested.

Fanconi Anaemia (FA) is a rare, life-limiting genetic disorder causing bone marrow failure in children and a predisposition to
gynaecological and head & neck cancers, together with other
complications both in childhood and in later life.

Whilst the bone marrow failure element can be corrected through bone marrow transplantation from a well-matched donor, there is still nocure for the cancer-predisposing condition.

Fanconi Hope is a national charitable trust 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.
