She was only 16 years old. Young Youtube star Rania, who suffered from Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, also known as progeria, passed away on Thursday, October 15, 2020.
It was with great emotion that fans of social media star Rania learned of the teenager's passing. Yououtuber gamemixtreizeoff, who was very close to her, announced in an Instagram story. Rania, from Annemasse, Haute-Savoie, suffered from Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, also called progeria. This rare genetic disease is characterized, moreover, by an acceleration in the aging of the skin, but also by cardiovascular problems and musculoskeletal degeneration.
The tribute from YouTuber gamemixtreizeoff is poignant. He looks back on the last months of the teenager's life and how, in record time, she was able to go through the best times of her life and achieve her dreams: "She did everything she dreamed of doing. She dreamed of breaking into Youtube, she did it. She dreamed of making music, she did it. I feel like everything what she dreamed of she did in a month and a half. At the time she just dreamed of an interview and she got it. I feel like God gave her everything these two last months."
Indeed, the duo of friends was followed by nearly 3.5 million fans. The girl's Youtube channel, Didek 74, has reached 317,000 subscribers over time… Just that! Rania touched the greatest number with her quiet strength. On social media, she was always cheerful, full of life and hope despite the illness. The teenager had become a symbol of resilience and an inspiration to many internet users. Although Rania’s life expectancy was limited due to her illness, she has given a lot to her followers and shown that despite the challenges, it is still possible to make her dreams come true.
