Adalia Rose is 6-years-young, but she has a condition that makes her
look much older.
She suffers from a rare genetic disorder called progeria, which causes
premature aging in children. But instead of allowing that to conquer her
life, Adalia has become an inspiration to millions and a beacon of hope
for other children who struggle with the condition.
According to Gawker, Adalia first came into the spotlight last year
after a video of her dancing to 'Ice Ice Baby' went viral on YouTube.
Her story and incredible spirit drew more than 6 million followers to
her Facebook page.
She's now in the news to promote a fundraiser for the Progeria Research
Foundation. On August 4, the Blue Starlite Mini Urban Drive-In in
Austin, Texas, will feature Adalia's favorite movie, 'Grease,' and raise
money and awareness in the hope of finding a cure.
