Hi, I am Cameron. I am from Stevensville, Michigan and I am only one of 15 children in the U.S. to have Progeria, a rare and fatal disease.

What is Progeria?

Progeria is a rare, fatal genetic condition characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. Children with Progeria begin to display many characteristics of accelerated aging at around 18-24 months of age. Progeria signs include growth failure, loss of body fat and hair, aged-looking skin, stiffness of joints, hip dislocation, cardiovascular (heart) disease and stroke. Children with Progeria die of heart disease at an average age of thirteen years.

For more details on progeria and additional ways you can help, please visit the Progeria Research Foundation.
