We are currently helping our great friends the Okines family, fundraise for the UK Progeria Reunion 2011 to take place in October in Kent. We are busy organising sponsored toddles, raffles, leg waxes and auctions here in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. We are looking for generous people and companies to kindly donate gifts, prize and vouchers to support the fund raising efforts. If you can help please contact me via this blog or on my work telephone number, Wellhouse Pre-School 01924 493216
Thank you so very much in advance

Hi, Im Harry Crowther, Im 24 years old and I have an extremely rare genetic disorder known as Atypical Progeria Syndrome (Non Classical Progeria) whereby I have a defect with the LAMIN A/C gene (LMNA). Though not to be confused with the classical Hutchinson Guilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) - both are Premature Aging Disorders. I was diagnosed in the USA aged 7 years old. Together with my Mum I keep this blog. Hope you enjoy my story.

Harry and the Olympic Torch
A very warm thank you to Cllr Martyn Bolt who has put forward a suggestion that Harry be nominated to be 1 of the 8,000.00 torch bearers to carry the Olympic torch next year in time fot the start of the 2012 Olympic Games. This would be an absolute honour for Harry and us if if was succesful in his nomination. Thank you to the Mirfield Reporter for the lovely story they have printed and lets hope all of Mirfield get behind their Ambassador, Harry and nominate him to carry the Olympic flame.
