A SCIENTIST with a rare premature ageing condition has devoted his life to finding a cure for others with the disorder. Sammy Basso, 25, from Venice, Italy, has Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) and is one of only 179 known cases in the world. Sammy-s condition means he is just 4ft 6 (1. 38m) tall and weighs only 44lbs (20kg. Determined not to be a victim of his condition, Sammy became a molecular biologist and wrote his graduate thesis on progeria. He is also the founder of the Italian Association of Progeria Sammy Basso, a non-profit which provides information about progeria and supports scientific research into the condition. Sammy is also passionate about staying active, and has a special wheelchair he can sit in while the Sammy Runners - amateur runners from the local running club - take him for a ride, with the group targeting the Milan Marathon as their next big run.

Look at this dude, will you. Aging a mile a minute with lord knows how many health problems, but he speaks English beautifully and has a joie de vivre that's immeasurably hard to find. Hey, American kids, take a lesson and get your heads out of your asses. ( I can say that because I am American.

I had to come back and watch this again. Sammy is magnetic! He is one of the most intelligent and inspiring individuals I have ever come across! I hope they do a follow up with him at some point.

What an incredible man. He leads a better life than most, and obviously appreciates every second of it. I hope he continues to live well, happily and successfully.

I'm so happy to see that people with progeria are living longer. I hope we can soon extend that to a normal life span. This guy is so strong -. I Wish him the best

How many of us without Progeria can say this sentence -If I could choose if to born again I would like this life-? I'm amazed by his positivity: )
reply

Did this genetic mutation create the full and wonderful biological life that ruined this unfortunate ruin? Scientists, are your minds gone?
reply

If he chose to be born again he'd like to have a horrifically debilitating disease that significantly lowers life expectancy? Ok pal

Its very important to have such a wealthy parents in order to raise a special child or elese it becomes a nemesis for such people-
reply

I enjoy listening to him. he has an amazing personality and is highly intelligent! As well as warm and personable.
reply

The life expectancy of people with this disease is 13 years. That so sad. But he is fighting against all odds!
reply

He was looking -normal- to me when he was a baby, don't babies have the progeria look when they are born?
reply

As of this month he-s a couple weeks older than Leon Botha lived to be. So he-s the oldest one of all time
