Kaylee is doing great, she just turned 8 last week. Really a lot of good things going on with research. I am hoping to be able to talk more about it soon (not allowed to due to FDA rules).

this is Rider-In-Ttown's daughter--it's a neat story about an amazing young girl and her family
http://abcnews.go.com/2020/barbara-walters-progeria-special-young-girls-living-progeria/story?id=11586041&page=2
As one of only eight girls in the U.S. who has progeria, it can be isolating .... amazingly, Kaylee Halko, 7, who has the same rare condition, lives an hour away in Monclova, Ohio. The two girls have become friends and because of progeria look strikingly similar. Kaylee is a confident, boisterous and fearless seven-year-old.
"[Kaylee] likes to say she's a star," her mother Marla Halko said.
The youngest of four children in the Halko brood, Kaylee -- at only three feet tall and weighing 24 pounds -- is noticeably different from her older brothers, but they have a close, loving relationship.

Kaylee will definitely put a smile on your face. I highly recommend that everyone watches/DVR's the re-air.

Rider, Interesting to read about your daughter. I will keep up on the story and I wish you, your daughter and the rest of your family the best. She seems like a very personable and wonderful young girl. Very humbling story.

Kaylee with the backward peace sign. I dig! 
What a personality that little girl has! I remember watching that and thinking that this was truly a very special person.
I will continue to pray for you and your family.

Just watched it with the wife. She was in tears with how inspiring your family is. Wish you all the best.

I by no means am endorsing this site as I just looked it up and do not know anything about it. Maybe Rider in Town can recommend a site or different research group than this one...

Good luck, Rider, and please keep us posted on the progress of the new research--God bless
