Quando o \u00fanico filho dos Drs. Leslie Gordon e Scott Berns, Sam, foi diagnosticado com Progeria em 1998, eles imediatamente come\u00e7aram a coletar o m\u00e1ximo de informa\u00e7\u00f5es que puderam encontrar sobre a doen\u00e7a. Eles descobriram que n\u00e3o havia muita coisa dispon\u00edvel: n\u00e3o havia como testar definitivamente a doen\u00e7a, nenhum financiamento para pesquisa sobre Progeria e nenhuma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o defendendo crian\u00e7as com Progeria. Ent\u00e3o, em 1999, eles reuniram familiares, amigos e colegas e estabeleceram a The Progeria Research Foundation para encontrar a causa, o tratamento e a cura para a Progeria.<\/p>\n
Desde ent\u00e3o, centenas de volunt\u00e1rios dedicados se juntaram \u00e0 equipe da PRF para ajudar a avan\u00e7ar o campo da pesquisa da Progeria a uma taxa extraordin\u00e1ria. O Conselho de Administra\u00e7\u00e3o, o Conselho Consultivo, os membros do Comit\u00ea, os Oficiais Corporativos, os advogados, os contadores, os designers gr\u00e1ficos e os representantes de rela\u00e7\u00f5es p\u00fablicas da PRF dedicam seu tempo, energia e talentos \u00e0 PRF gratuitamente para garantir que menos seja gasto em custos administrativos e mais em aumentar a conscientiza\u00e7\u00e3o e encontrar uma cura para a Progeria.

They discovered that there wasn\u2019t much available: there was no way to definitively test for the disease, no funding for Progeria research, and no organization advocating for children with Progeria. So in 1999, they gathered family, friends and colleagues and established The Progeria Research Foundation to find the cause, treatment and cure for Progeria.\r\n\r\nSince then, hundreds of dedicated volunteers have joined the PRF team to help advance the field of Progeria research at an extraordinary rate. PRF\u2019s Board of Directors, Board of Advisors, Committee members, Corporate Officers, lawyers, accountants, graphic designers and public relations representatives all devote their time, energy and talents to PRF for free to ensure less is spent on administrative costs and more on raising awareness and finding a cure for Progeria.Click on the links to the left to read more about our core group, and also read about many of our other heroes, PRF\u2019s Miracle Makers<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-883","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nInscrever-se<\/h2>\n
