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. In 1998, at the age of 23 months my son Sam was diagnosed with Progeria. Six months later The Progeria Research Foundation began our quest to find the cause, treatment, and cure for Progeria. Since Sam's diagnosis, my wife Leslie, Sam and I have been on quite a journey. Today, 13 years after the creation of PRF, we remain steadfast and hopeful that, with your help, we will find the cure for Progeria. Now, more than ever, we are encouraged by our progress, including finding the gene that causes Progeria leading to two clinical drug trials (and hopefully another clinical trial soon). We have identified 90 children with Progeria worldwide and we’re working hard to find the other kids out there. We’re making so much progress, but need more funds to reach that ultimate goal of a cure. Your financial support continues to be vital in order for us to continue to make progress, to help Sam and children with Progeria from all over the world, to find the cure. And, together, we can do it! 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! Love, Scott
