As of October 2023, between both TED.com<\/a> and TEDx<\/a>, Sam’s iconic TEDx talk received over 100 million cross-platform views!<\/strong> His talk has been translated into 38 languages<\/strong>, is the 2nd most-viewed TEDx talk<\/strong>, 7th most-viewed TED talk, <\/strong>and is often hailed as one of the top 10 best TED talks of all time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sam, the inspiration behind PRF\u2019s founding, passed away in January 2014. He left behind a legacy through the Emmy Award-winning film Life According to Sam<\/em> and this talk, encouraging listeners to keep their heads up and not let obstacles keep them from following their dreams. People all over the world \u2013 celebrities, professional athletes, corporate leaders, and others from all walks of life \u2013 were deeply moved by Sam\u2019s words and his legacy that inspires us all to live life to its fullest. As Sam now famously says in his talk, \u201cBeing brave isn\u2019t supposed to be easy \u2013 but for me, it\u2019s the key way to keep moving forward.\u201d We agree, as we move forward to finish what we started: Together, we WILL<\/em>\u00a0find the cure for Progeria.<\/p>\n

In September 2015, also at TEDx Mid Atlantic, Sam\u2019s Dad, Dr. Scott Berns celebrated Sam not only with his own short talk, but also by wearing the special shirt they both wore to all the\u00a0Dave Matthews Band<\/a>\u00a0concerts they attended together.<\/p>\n

The lessons of this lecture are powerful and inspiring. Sharing her \u201cSecret Sauce\u201d for making anything possible, Dr. Gordon urges audience members to apply a version of this secret sauce to their own personal obstacles. Her ingredients are a reflection of all that PRF has, and will, accomplish.<\/p>\n
