John was an incredible person who never let his condition slow him down. In between his school activities, work and passion for the drums, he welcomed talking to others, especially kids, about Progeria because he felt it was important that people be educated about it. John was a key member of the panel that announced the Progeria gene finding in April 2003 in Washington, DC. He answered reporters' questions and commented that it was an exciting time for him and his friends. We are proud to have known John and PRF is forever grateful for his contributions in raising awareness about Progeria and the work of PRF. He was an inspiration to us all. John will be missed greatly.<\/p>\r\nClick here to see an interview with John, taken when he was 13 years old.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\"1\/4\"][vc_column_text]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"150\"]\u06ab\u0689\u0648\u0646 \u06a9\u0648\u0644<\/h2>\n
