While Enzo's parents don’t have any extended family in Australia, they have great friends, who always makes Enzo feel so special. Since 2014 Team Enzo has been supporting The Progeria Research Foundation to raise awareness and funds to discover treatments and the cure for Progeria and its aging related disorders.
