My Message
Thank you for supporting this year’s ONEpossible™ campaign, a time when people, ONE at a time, make the hope of a cure for Progeria POSSIBLE. Progeria is a rare, fatal disease of accelerated aging in children, who die of heart disease at an average age of 13 years.
As many of you know, this cause is very personal and close to my heart as my niece Rachel, was diagnosed with Progeria when she was about 18 months old. Unfortunately, Rachel passed away just before her 10th birthday but in those 10 years she touched so many lives. My hope is that PRF can find a cure for Progeria. This is why I'm asking for your help so PRF can continue their mission and find a cure!
Your support is needed now more than ever - We have identified 89 children with Progeria worldwide and we’re working hard to find the other kids out there. We’ve doubled our research budget to bring in more high-level experts and get more studies going. And we are planning the biggest, most expensive clinical drug trial yet. We’re making so much progress, but need more funds to reach that ultimate goal of a cure. No amount is too small: Our goal of a cure starts with one –YOU. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
