Children with Progeria die of the same heart disease that affects millions of normally aging adults (arteriosclerosis), but at an average age of just 14 years. Remarkably, their intellect is unaffected, and despite significant physical changes in their young bodies, these extraordinary children are intelligent, courageous, and full of life.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p> The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) was established in 1999 by\u00a0Drs. Leslie Gordon<\/a> and Scott Berns,\u00a0the parents of a child with Progeria,\u00a0along with many dedicated friends and family who saw the need for a medical research resource for the doctors, patients, and families of those with Progeria.\u00a0 Since that time, PRF has been the driving force behind the Progeria gene discovery and the first-ever Progeria drug treatment. PRF has developed programs and services to aid those affected by Progeria and the scientists who conduct Progeria research.\u00a0 Today, PRF is the only non-profit organization solely dedicated to finding treatments and the cure for Progeria. PRF is hailed as a prime example of a successful translational research organization, moving from creation, to gene discovery, to first-ever drug treatment in just 13 years.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p> 1999 through December 31, 2018<\/em>: $29,821,446<\/strong><\/p> More than 80% of PRF\u2019s annual expenses are consistently dedicated to its programs and services - one factor in our achieving a coveted 4-star rating from Charity Navigator five years in a row.<\/p> The support we have received made the Progeria gene discovery, the Progeria clinical trials and all of our other extraordinary progress possible.\u00a0 With the help of current and new supporters, we will<\/em> win this race against time and find treatments and the cure for these special children. Moreover, Progeria treatment discoveries may also help millions with heart disease and the entire aging population.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1549556944835{background-color: #ffffff !important;}\"]<\/p> [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p> Audrey Gordon, Esq., President and Executive Director<\/b><\/a>\n
