Adalia Rose was an American social media star afflicted with a rare genetic disorder called progeria or Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), which causes accelerated ageing; the disorder gave her the look of an old woman. She became famous when her mother set up a website and a page on Facebook to help her family keep a track of her progress. Her spunky attitude in the face of such adversity struck a chord with the general public. Even after knowing that she may not be able to live for long, she was very lively and full of life. She created many videos that proved she took all the problems in her stride and enjoyed life to its fullest. The videos not only made her famous but also brought to the notice of many how to cope with a situation from which recovery is almost impossible. With over 2.91 million YouTube subscribers and 12 million Facebook fans, Adalia Rose had a huge following on social media.
