Thank you for visiting my Progeria Research Foundation fundraising page
Cameron Howard is young boy from Stevensville, MI who born with a rare genetic condition call Progeria. Cameron's parents Jason and Stephanie Howard and few close friends of mine started the Southwest Michigan Chapter of the Progeria Research Foundation in April of 2007 in order to help raise awareness as well as much needed funding for research. Our group organizes the Kilometers for Cam event each year as the Chapter's major fundraising event. Please join us for the event if you can, but if not any donation you can afford would be greatly appreciated!! Please check out the info below on Progeria...
Progeria is a rare, fatal, genetic condition, characterized by "rapid aging". Although the children are born looking healthy, by 18 months they display signs of growth failure, loss of body fat and hair, aged skin and stiff joints. Children with Progeria die of heart desease at an average of 13 years old.
The mission of the Progeria Research Foundation(PRF) is to discover the cure and effective treatment for Progeria and its aging related disorders. There is a tremendous need for research. Please join me in supporting PRF in their efforts to help these very special children.
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It doesn't matter if you can give, $25, $250 or $1,000 every dollar will help. Together we WILL find the cure.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
