What do you do
when there's nowhere to turn? You drive straight ahead. |

During her 2013 TED Talk, physician Leslie Gordon recalled how
she chose her course of action when faced with heartbreaking news in the
summer of 1998. Gordon and her husband learned that their 22-month-old son,
Sam, had been diagnosed with progeria, an extremely rare syndrome that causes
rapid aging and premature death. There was very little existing research
about the disease, or support groups for people affected by it, and Gordon
realized she needed to blaze her own trail to advocate for her son and others
like him. Gordon created the Progeria Research Foundation, where she and her
team continue to reach promising milestones in the search for a cure. |
