Meet Magali Gonzalez Sierra, a Colombian teen with a
heartbreaking rare genetic disorder that traps her young
mind in an elderly body. Magali suffers from Hutchinson-
Gilford Progeria Syndrome – an incredibly rare mutation in
the genes causing extreme ageing from a young age.
Because of the disease, doctors gave her to the age of 13 to
live. But against all odds, she just did something that no
one expected…
Friends and family close to the teen say she has never let
her condition come in the way of enjoying life, and even
though she is forced to painful symptoms like joint pain
and fear of heart failure, she always has a smile on her
face. But as she neared her latest birthday, Magali had one
dream that she wanted to see happen…
That was to celebrate her birthday in style! Her 15th, was
very important to the young girl, as in Colombia that date is
a coming-of-age equivalent to the “Sweet Sixteen” in North
America… and celebrate she did! Dressed as a princess,
hundreds of her people showed up to party, and shower her
with presents and flowers. Magali’s mother Sofia, says:
“She told me she wants her party: that even though she
doesn’t dance, she wants us to dance. She wants balloons
and celebrations and that people come.” Looks like Magali
got her wish.
