My page is in memory of our sweet Amy Michelle Foose, 9/12/1969 to 12/19/1985 she was the center of our family for 16 wonderful years. She loved life, her family and her many, many friends. She lived life to the fullest and taught all of us how precious is the gift of life. When The Progeria Research Foundation was formed I knew I had to be involved in her memory.
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. 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!
