The Life Of Sam Berns

In memory of Sam Berns. (October 23 1996- January 10th 2014)

This is Sam Berns. He had a rare condition called progeria that affected every one in four million to one in eight million births. With this disease comes hair loss, stunted growth, joint deterioration and cardiac problems.

Sam didn't let his disease ever stop him from doing what he wanted, even when people told him what he wanted to do wasn't possible.

If you have 12 minutes in your day, please watch his TED Talk to see his story and how much of an inspiration he is to always believe in yourself. Thank you Sam for ALWAYS embracing who you were and not letting a disease define you. Rest In Peace.
