            All proceeds go to Fanconi Anemia Research in Memory of Nicholas Boggs.

The first thing that you may ask is “What is F.A.?” The answer is simply Fanconi Anemia.  This is the genetic disorder that people are born with that may cause serious and life-threatening health problems.  Many times, the patients face bone marrow failure, cancer, or leukemia, along with many other health issues.  These are health problems that require a lifetime of treatment, surgeries, bone marrow transplants, hospitalizations, and very specialized care.

Nicholas Boggs from Coeburn, had F.A. and all the serious health issues from this genetic disorder. Nicholas is the son of Jeff and Donna Boggs, living in the Lyons Fork area.  Nicholas has a younger brother, Spencer.  Nicholas developed AML, a type of leukemia and won his battle in October, 2010.  He fought to the end. 

To read more of Nicholas’ courageous battle, you may visit his website on: www.caringbridge.org/va/nicholas.e.boggs/
