Hayley Okines Book

I first saw Hayley Okines in 2005 in Channel 5's Extraordinary People series. She suffers from progeria, a rare genetic condition that ages a child by about 8 years for every year of life. She was warned she wouldn't live beyond the age of 13. In December 2011 she reached her 14th birthday. Her body is now roughly 112 years old. She is such a terrific kid that she's become the poster girl for progeria. I posted a blog about her in 2008 (CLICK). She even has her own website (CLICK). And with the help of her mother Kerry she has now published a book: Old Before my Time (title link).
