Support Update  as of June 2013
Growing Stronger supported  the work of Dr. Jyoti's in 2011 - 2012  and Dr. Lunstrum in 2012 - 2013. Both continue to work on improving the lives of little people. Because of the excellent work by both researchers Dr. Horton has received an NIH grant enabled by work supported by Growing Stronger. Since Dr. Horton has received the NIH grant he no longer needs Growing Stronger's support.  Dr. Horton remains a close friend and a leader in dwarfism research.
