The Tin Soldiers Global FOP Patient Search mission is to identify every person with Fybrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) living in isolation and to connect them to a diagnosis, appropriate medical support and pathways to care. Our strategy delivers a globally relevant, multi-pronged awareness and education campaign that targets a wide range of HCPs and the public – including in underserved communities. The program provides education and offers access to resources, a support network and information on medical care. This work has led to the diagnosis of several other rare musculoskeletal conditions. We propose this model as a valid program for finding and supporting children with rare conditions.

Acid ceramidase deficiency presenting as Farber disease represents the first example of our approach in action. The disease can result in a great deal of suffering for patients and families, and there is no disease-specific therapy available. Patients with Farber disease are commonly misdiagnosed as having JIA, because of symptoms including arthritis and joint contractures.
