I inherited Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia which is degenerative and progressive. It will not shorten my life, but this upper motor disorder affects my gait by causing tightness and weakness in the muscles from my waist to my toes. The weak and tight muscles affect the joints from the waist to the toes. The spasticity and weakness can cause falls and broken bones when my toes drag and I trip over the smallest obstacles in my path. As HSP progresses walking aids and wheelchairs might be needed. Stretches and exercises help to slow the progression.

Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Spastic Paraplegia Foundation, Inc.
