Soccer is the Brazilian Bruno's greatest passion, which used to be fed daily at the small field near his home where he spent hours chasing a ball with friends. Since his hip and knee have been stuck due to the course of Fop, the 14-year-old boy has had to give up soccer, and with it he has also lost his smile and desire to eat. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (Fop) is a rare disease characterized by the abnormal development of bone tissue in areas of the body where it is not normally present. "Noi ci siamo (We Are There)," an association in Ticino that specifically works in the field of research, learned about Bruno's story and took action.
In collaboration with the 'Noi ci siamo' Association to support research for FOP.
