FIND A CURE OR TREATMENT FOR PLS

Hello family and friends,

I really appreciate all of you and the support you have given me over the years. I'm fundraising for SPF again this year, because they are dedicated to PLS and HSP, another motor neuron disease. We want our donations to be front and center for PLS!

I started having symptoms in 2018 and officially diagnosed with PLS in March 2019. I can talk, but no one can understand me; I don’t walk; I choke more; my hands don't work very well; It's very difficult to type with one finger. I use a Tobii Dynavox computer, with eye gaze technology, to talk for me; I depend on my wife and caregiver for basically everything; and I have been progressing faster than most of the wonderful people in my PLS support group, meeting monthly on Zoom.

I am in a race with a turtle, a sloth, and a snail, I am dead last, but I am still in the race.

Needless to say, we must find a Cure, or at least some effective treatment options! Please help us to do that. The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation is the only one that is ALL volunteers and are trying to devote time and resources to helping find a treatment and cure.

Even a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Spastic Paraplegia Foundation. It is a 501 (c) (3) charity, and all gifts are tax-deductible.

Let’s support good in the world and make a difference by funding more medical research to find cures for HSP and PLS for Spastic Paraplegia Foundation, Inc.

Thanks again for your support,

Mark Anderson
