SOFT BONES HIPPO SQUAD

As a means of engaging children with HPP and their siblings, Soft Bones offers a membership group known as the Hippo Squad, where “cool” kids connect. The squad offers children living with this rare disease an opportunity to connect to a community of others just like them, while educating them on their disease through activity boxes mailed to their home throughout the year. To further demonstrate the theme of HPP Together, families are encouraged to learn more about this program and register their child(ren) by clicking the link below:
-
All registrants will receive a copy of the first storybook of its kind for children with HPP created by Soft Bones, “Journaling My Hypophosphatasia.”
OUR MISSION
The mission of Soft Bones, Inc. is to provide valuable information, education and support for people living with hypophosphatasia (HPP), their families and caregivers. The Foundation promotes research of this rare bone disease through awareness and fund-raising efforts.
