As many of you know, I was recently diagnosed with a rare neurodegenerative condition called Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). HSP is a group of rare genetic disorders that primarily affect the nerves that control muscle movement in the lower extremities. This results in progressive stiffness and weakness in the legs, leading to difficulties with walking and coordination. Spastic paraplegia can vary widely in its severity and age of onset, with some individuals experiencing symptoms in childhood while others may not develop symptoms until adulthood.


There are over 80 types of HSP and more being identified every year. By donating to our cause, you can help support research and provide resources for those living with spastic paraplegia. Join us in our mission to raise awareness and support for the Spastic Paraplegia Foundation. Together, we can make a positive impact and improve the lives of individuals living with this condition. Thank you for your support.
