Project Progeria

The children living with Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome are wonderfully bright individuals, unique in their own. Unfortunately, the manifestation of HGPS renders their lives short of aspirations. In effort to bringing PRF a step closer to finding a cure for children diagnosed with Progeria, the members of Project Progeria are committed to raising funds to support PRF and promoting community service to provide a better environment for the younger generation.

Established in the Fall of 2002, Project Progeria is a collaborated effort amongst students with a genuine interest in raising funds to aid the Progeria Research Foundation (PRF), whose purpose is to also fund the medical research to find a cure/treatment as well as promoting the awareness of HGP.

The number of children living with HGPS dwindles each year as they fail to overcome the symptoms that results in death in their early teens. Currently there are less than 40 children throughout the world. No form of cure or treatment has been discovered. However the families and friends of children with HGPS adamantly pursue the hope of a cure. Our organization is reaching out to anyone with an interest in helping with donations. Your help WILL make a difference!
