Beandri passed away at just 19 years old, but her story will continue to inspire those who hear it.
Born in South Africa, Beandri was only seven months old when she was diagnosed with Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome, an incredibly rare genetic condition that causes the body to age eight times faster than normal.
The odds of being born with progeria are 1 in 4 million, and fewer than 400 children and young adults worldwide currently live with the condition.
