Luciana's life took an unexpected turn when she was diagnosed with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), a rare genetic condition that causes her muscles to turn into bone. As the condition progressed, her once-flexible limbs became rigid, her joints fused, and her ribs locked in place, suffocating her lungs. Despite the physical limitations, Luciana's resilience and determination shone through. She refused to succumb to the challenges and instead dedicated herself to raising awareness and advocating for others with rare diseases. Her journey became a testament to the indomitable human spirit, reminding us that even amidst adversity, hope and passion can prevail.
