The mission of The Progeria Research Foundation is to discover treatments and the cure for Progeria and its aging-related disorders, including heart disease. Together with caring, dedicated board members and other generous volunteers, The Progeria Research Foundation was created to raise awareness, educate and help the families, their doctors, researchers and the general public about Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome. In addition, PRF funds medical research and runs research-related programs specifically aimed at finding additional treatments and cure for this syndrome.
