I have friends who are or who have greatly suffered with osteoporosis.  For some of them, their suffering could have been prevented with early education.  People think that only the elderly can suffer with osteoporosis - they are incorrect.  I have a friend whose granddaughter had her promising GB athletics career de-railed when only in her teens.

Few people in the UK really understand what osteoporosis is. Even fewer understand the true extent of the impact it has on lives; robbing those affected of self-confidence, reducing independence and making everyday activities a challenge. That's why research is being driven for the development of new medications and treatments - the determination to find a cure is highly powered. We dream of a future without osteoporosis. You can help make it a reality.
