Hello, My name is Zach

When I was 11 months old I was diagnosed with a rare, fatal genetic syndrome called progeria.  Progeria causes accelerated aging in children.  Progeria is very rare...there are only 14 children with progeria in the United States and 48 in the whole world!  Despite having progeria, I am a very happy boy!  I love my family and friends and I like to play with my cars and trucks and I love to dance and have fun.  My family has been raising money for the Progeria Research Foundation since my diagnosis.  They are the only organization in the world that is committed to finding a treatment and possibly a cure for progeria.  They are currently doing a two-year drug trial with great hopes that the medication will help all the children with progeria.  You can help!  Join the "Zach Attack" against progeria and visit the Progeria Research Foundation's website at the link below or read more about some of the local fundraisers we are doing.  Thanks for visiting my site.
