Mission

To discover treatments and the cure for Progeria and its aging-related disorders, including heart disease.

Progeria is an ultra-rare, fatal, “rapid-aging” disease that afflicts children who, without the FDA-approved treatment lonafarnib, die of heart disease at an average age of 14.5 years. PRF is the only non-profit organization solely dedicated to finding treatments and the cure for Progeria, and is making phenomenal progress toward that goal.

News

Get Involved

Our lonafarnib clinical trials enrolled 107 children from 42 different countries to test this now-FDA-approved treatment. Because of your support, these children and young adults are living longer, healthier lives.
