Welcome

our mission is to find a cure...

The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation (SPF) was created in 2002 as a voluntary, non-profit health organization. Our goals are:

to fund research into the causes, therapies and cures for the upper motor neuron disorders hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) and primary lateral sclerosis (PLS),
to provide educational materials, conferences and gatherings for people affected with and by these disorders, and
to foster support for those affected with and by these disorders, through both on-line and in-person contacts. The ultimate goal of SPF is to see the day when all those with HSP and PLS are diagnosed, treated, and cured.

With your support, we strive to make that day a reality.
