One of the objectives of FOP Australia is to educate the community about FOP.

Rare Disease Day was held on February 29th, on this day Lara and her son Jarvis who has FOP visited Junction Park State School in Queensland wearing yellow to support the day.

Lara gave a talk about FOP and helped the school to learn about the most common clue to FOP which is malformed big toes.

Thank you to Junction Park State School for your support, we raised $443 on this day which will help us with our patient event in June.
