Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher and his wife Candi said Friday they have started a fundraising organization to raise money to help their youngest son and others fight a rare life-threatening blood disease. Six-year-old Ethan Fisher was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia earlier this year and his treatment, which will require a bone marrow transplant in a few years, is being handled by Dr. Margaret MacMillan. She is a pediatric blood and marrow transplant physician at the University of Minnesota. Children are generally diagnosed at age 7 and require the transplant by 11, MacMillan said.
