About a year or so ago, I stumbled across a rare (and fatal) disease called Progeria (Pro-jeer-ee-uh). I was interested, so I looked up more information on it, and I watched a couple of documentaries on children with it. I was so sad at what I found. I'm still very sad! The children who have this disease age so rapidly, they rarely live to be 13 years old.
When I discovered it, there was still no known treatment or cure for this condition. A couple of years ago, some people decided to try to find a treatment. I was hoping and praying that they would. I just realized that I hadn't looked up much more about it for a while. I was just thinking about it a few minutes ago, so I thought I would see how things were going. I was so surprised and ecstatic to read that they had finally found a treatment that works! Praise the LORD! I am so happy for those children involved in the tests.
I hope they can finally live more healthy, happy, and longer lives!
