illness, which is often seen in old men. Now he is fighting against it.

condition (状况). However, he does not let it stop him from being an energetic teenager.
His parents know there's no cure (治愈方法) and that his fast ageing cannot be halted. His mother
Sharon Crowther told Sky News, "It's been hard, but we just take each day as it comes and let Harry
live his life to the full."
The boy told Sky News, "Sometimes my friends look at me for a long time. It's just annoying and
makes me feel very sad."

brother Jack, is trying not to let the illness hold him back.
"I want to be a marine biologist (海洋生物学家) when I grow up," he said. "I will never give up
and will just keep trying."
