In the Summer of 2016 I was finally diagnosed via genetic testing with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, with a gene mutation of SPG7.

Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) is a group of rare, inherited neurological disorders. Their primary symptoms are progressive spasticity and weakness of the leg and hip muscles. Researchers estimate that some 90 different types of HSP exist; the genetic causes are known for about fifty. The HSP incidence rate in the United States is about 20,000 people. The condition is characterized by insidiously progressive lower extremity weakness and spasticity. HSP is classified as uncomplicated or pure if neurological impairment is limited to the lower body.This groundswell of giving reaffirms that generosity is universal and powerful, and that it acts as an antidote to fear, division, and isolation.” --Asha Curran, co-founder and CEO of GivingTuesday.
