It was brought to Sunshine's attention via a newspaper article that a young boy in South Africa, named Fransie, had a dream to visit Pinocchio. The inspiration for this dream came from this boy seeing himself in a mirror. Because of his wooden appearance, he felt in some way related to Pinocchio.

What is Progeria? Progeria, or Hutchinson Gilford Progeria syndrome, is an extremely rare, fatal genetic condition of childhood with striking features resembling premature aging. The word Progeria is derived from the Greek meaning “prematurely old”. Hutchinson Gilford Progeria accelerates the process of aging to about eight times the normal rate. Because of this accelerated aging, a child with Hutchinson Gilford Progeria that is ten years old will have similar respiratory, cardiovascular, and arthritic conditions of that of an eighty year old. Hutchinson Gilford Progeria has a reported incidence of about 1 in 8 million newborns. It affects both sexes equally and all races. In the past 15 years, children with Progeria have been reported all over the world, including in Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Cuba, England, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South America, South Korea, Switzerland, Turkey, the US, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Yugoslavia. Hutchinson Gilford Progeria is one of the world's rarest diseases. There are only about 40 known cases throughout the world to this date. There has been only about 100 reported cases since the first diagnosis by Jonathan Hutchinson in 1886 and Hastings Gilford in 1904. Although the time of onset of more definitive symptoms varies from case to case, generally by the end of the first year there is noticeable growth retardation and the appearance of physical features commonly associated with Hutchinson Gilford Progeria.

SITUATION Within one year of beginning research, a group of leading scientists from the PRF Genetics Consortium, including scientists from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), identified the gene that causes Progeria.  This discovery was not only a major breakthrough for children suffering from Progeria, but potentially held answers to the mysteries of heart disease and stroke. Prior to the publication of the gene study in Nature , the Foundation approached Spectrum to help maintain media focus on PRF throughout the joint announcement with NIH.  OBJECTIVE Spectrum’s goal was to properly position PRF as the driving force behind the gene discovery, and as a scientific resource and trusted advisor to the Progeria community.  We also sought to find a balance between the hard science/PRF story and Scott, Leslie and Sam’s personal story. PROGRAM Spectrum worked closely with Nature and NIH to ensure proper media outreach coordination, embargo and publication dates, distribution and other planning and outreach logistics.  With only three days notice, the Spectrum team pulled together a joint press conference with NIH, to announce the major scientific breakthrough.  Spectrum implemented an aggressive program plan, which included development of the press kit and background materials, and production of b-roll footage of Scott, Leslie and Sam and sound bites from Francis Collins, MD, PhD, director of NHGRI and senior author of the study.  After developing talking points and media training key PRF spokespeople, Spectrum conducted aggressive outreach efforts to drive media to the event.  We also organized interviews for the Foundation’s spokespeople, including a child with Progeria who was honored as PRF’s first Youth Ambassador.
