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.
