🩵 The future you make possible: a world where Progeria is curable.

Because of YOU, children with Progeria have grown into young adults. Your support helped bring lonafarnib, the first FDA-approved, life-extending treatment for , to the children who need it most.

Now it is time to take the next step.

The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) and the Progeria Gene Team have developed SamPro-2, a gene editing therapy that, in mouse models, has permanently corrected the exact DNA error that causes Progeria. PRF is now advancing SamPro-2 toward human trials!

Dr. David Liu, Broad Institute, PRF Gene Team member, 2025 Breakthrough Prize Recipient, and upcoming 2026 PRF S.A.M. Award Honoree, says it best:

"The hope of our team is to use base editing to fix the root cause of Progeria, providing a pathway to a potential cure as well as advancing treatments for millions of other children with fatal genetic diseases."

This is the moment everything changes. And YOU can be ONE to change it.

🩵 A Historic First we will never forget.

In October 2025, at The Progeria Research Foundation's 12th International Scientific Workshop, something extraordinary happened. Four young adults with took the stage together for the very first time, forming the first-ever adult panel.

Merlin. Kaylee. Amber. Michiel.

They shared their voices, their stories, and their hopes for a future cure. And every single person in that room knew they were witnessing history.

This moment exists because of research, community, and supporters like YOU.

The campaign is how we keep going. Please donate today and help make the cure possible for every child living with Progeria.
