Hayley Okines

Television appearances Okines was the subject of television specials in both Europe and North America. Discovery Health aired a special titled Extreme Aging: Hayley's Story, which focused on the balance of the disease being currently terminal but with a possible cure on the horizon. In the UK, a television documentary titled Extraordinary Lives also discussed Okines, her condition, and her options.

When she was 13 years old, she was featured on a French television show on 20 January 2012 called Tous Différents ("All Different", NT1).

When she was ten years old, Okines was featured in "Hope for Hayley", an episode of the British series Extraordinary People. The episode concerned Okines' trips to Boston for treatment.

Books Okines' first book, Old Before My Time, chronicled her early life and struggle with progeria.

Fundraisers Although the United States' Progeria Research funded Okines's treatment, her family had to fund the air fare.

In December 2010, Okines met Justin Bieber after a group of people started an awareness campaign on Twitter.

"Voices of Tomorrow" When Jane Winiberg saw a progeria television special, she and Mark Street wrote a song about Okines and other children. The Kids Choir 2000, which included Okines, performed the vocals on the song, titled "Voices of Tomorrow". "Life Will Find a Way" is another similar track on the album, and the profits are being donated to the Progeria Research Foundation.
