In preparation for this year’s FOP Awareness Day on April 23rd we are proud to release our new flyers to raise awareness of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, and help spread some of our key messages.

Because of the generous support of local businesses, the new FOP Australia banner and flyers were ready for the 2018 Somerville Family Day, where Talia Wilson, Liv Sedgwick, Tyson Stanley and Daniel Petrovic proudly displayed them alongside the FOP Australia Eco-cups for sale. The new resources and the day were a big success, with cup sales, new memberships and over $200 cash donated towards FOP research! Well done team!

Do you have an upcoming event where you could do a similar stall to raise FOP awareness? We can help provide resources and ideas, and assist in making sure appropriate permits are in place for your state. Or, if you would like to raise awarenesss by sharing copies of the FOP Australia flyer via your business, friends or family, please contact us and we will happily share hard copy or PDF versions.

Thank you to our generous supporters:

We are extremely grateful to these businesses for their high quality work and efforts to help us raise awareness.

We welcome any other businesses who may be interested in donating services to contact us. 

A special thank you to the FOP families who kindly allowed us to use their photos. Sharing your pictures and stories is invaluable in helping others understand why we need to beat FOP.
