Help us raise money

For participating in The 2023 ASICS Falmouth Road Race

Our story…

The Progeria Research Foundation is thrilled to once again be part of the Falmouth Road Race Numbers for Nonprofits program!

Thanks to our dedicated runners, PRF’s Falmouth Road Race team has raised over $167,000 gross since 2015, bringing us closer to additional treatments and the cure for Progeria.

Let’s make this year the best yet - support TEAM PRF today!

If you are interested in joining our team, contact Jennifer at jbrickley@progeriaresearch.org for details.

The Progeria Research Foundation's Mission:
To discover treatments and the cure for Progeria and its aging-related disorders, including heart disease.

What is Progeria?
Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS), is a rare, fatal genetic condition of accelerated aging in children. Without lonafarnib treatment, all children with Progeria die of the same heart disease that affects millions of normally aging adults (arteriosclerosis), but at an average age of just 14.5 years.

Together, we WILL find the cure!
