One of the saddest most weirdest things I've seen in a while...

So My dad and I were watching TLC and we came across a story about a little girl that had a diesease called "Progeria" It is VERY rare... only 45 kids have it in the U.S. 1 in 8 million kids get it. It's where your body looks older than your actual age, but your mental mind is set like your age. So the average age of a progerian kid lives to 13 years. they die of strokes and heartattacks cause their bodies are like a 90-year-old... It's so insane and sad... their is still no cure for the case yet. Look up "progeria" to learn more!!
