Progeria is a genetic disease meaning that the small bits and pieces from a mother and father created someone who is very special and different from many of us. It is sometimes known as the "aging disease" because the children who are affected by it may appear to be old.
Do NOT worry, Progeria is not contagious meaning you can not get it from playing, touching, or hugging someone who has it. It is something they are born with.
Someone who has Progeria is very special, because very few people in the entire world have it. In fact only about 74 known cases have been documented.
A child with Progeria may lose some of their hair. In addition, they may have larger heads than the average person. It is important not to make fun of someone or stare at someone who is different from the rest. They function the same as you and in many cases are smarter than the average child.
BE NICE AND MAKE A NEW FRIEND WITH SOMEONE WHO IS SPECIAL :D
