Closed Government Funding Towards Cure for FOP

Closed on

FOP is a physically and mentally debilitating disorder. It is where muscles, ligaments and tissues grow into bones and the people affected are left scared, depressed and frozen.
Due to it's rarity, it is often misdiagnosed as cancer and incorrect medication is given - which often worsens the bone growth.
Research is needed quickly and research into FOP could also help cure arthritis and many other military injuries.
It is extremely important that funding is assigned to the location and administration of a cure for FOP, before future generations are left as a healthy mind in a frozen body.
Don't let more people be turned into human statues.
