The Progeria Research Foundation

TOGETHER WE WILL FIND THE CURE ?? Leslie Gordon e Scott Berns, mamma e papà di Sam, grande amico del nostro Sammy sono venuti in Italia da Boston ad incontrare il direttivo A.I.Pro.Sa.B. Questa è stata l'occasione per raccontarci dei progressi della ricerca, che al momento sono ad un vero e proprio punto di svolta! ?? Questi due straordinari genitori sono stati tra i fondatori della @progeriaresearch, fondazione americana che dal 1999 ha avviato una ricerca in grado di dare risposte a medici e famiglie, ma soprattutto di iniziare i clinical trial e i progetti che ci stanno conducendo ad una cura vera e propria ???? Grazie Leslie e Scott per la vostra amicizia e per il vostro lavoro! Grazie per insegnarci verso dove dobbiamo guardare. #sammy #sammybasso #sam #samberns #progeria #progeriaresearch #ricerca #scientifica #italia #usa #associazione #aiprosab

?? SAMMY RUNS BOSTON ?? Boston è stata una città davvero importante per Sammy; lì ha iniziato i primi clinical trial e ha sviluppato piano piano la sua passione per la scienza, arrivando a collaborare in prima persona alla ricerca scientifica per trovare una cura definitiva per la Progeria. Questa città, quindi, rappresenta una luce di speranza per tutti i malati di Progeria ?? Ognuno può fare la sua parte per sostenere la ricerca che A.I.Pro.Sa.B. APS sta portando avanti anche grazie a questo progetto.
