Atleti supports Darío, the little astronaut fighting against FOP
Darío Rodríguez de Haro, 3 years old, suffers from Fibrodisplasia Osificante Progresiva (FOP), an ultra-rare disease that turns his muscles into a second skeleton. The Atlético fan club ‘Nunca dejes de creer’ has focused its VIII anniversary on supporting the little boy and his family in their fight against the disease.
Although there is no funding or treatment, the club has raised funds for research and has given Darío’s mother a shirt with the motto ‘Nunca dejes de creer’. Football is rallying around Darío, with the Sporting de Gijón giving him a shirt signed by all the players and a Spanish legend carrying him onto the field this Saturday, December 14.
