Join us!

Oklahoma TeamWalk Connection for people concerned with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) or Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS)

Saturday, September 16; Norman, Oklahoma

Meet others concerned with HSP or PLS, share stories and concerns, have fun and take us one step closer to the cure!

Connection
Gather at 10:00 a.m. on the lovely grounds of Andrews Park for an HSP-PLS Connection. Meet with others managing life with HSP or PLS, share your stories and concerns and enjoy time together. Plenty of parking is available. We will meet at the picnic shelter in Andrews Park.

Andrews Park: 201 W. Daws, Norman, Oklahoma. A map, address, and other park information can be found at this link: http://www.ci.norman.ok.us/parks/AndrewsParkInfo.htm

TeamWalk For Our Cures walkathon
At 11:00 a.m., join everyone for a TeamWalk on the Legacy Trail. Walk, roll, or stroll as much as you desire. You can choose to do 1 or 2 miles on the Legacy Trail, which commemorates the Land Run of Oklahoma in 1889 via statues and monuments. Or, you can do Ľ or a ˝ mile walk on beautiful side walks in the park or even stay right there at the shelter and enjoy the day with other non-walkers.

Our TeamWalk is a walkathon to raise funds for research. It is a pre-paid event and you’ll collect sponsors for your participation, not distance walked. Visit our Tips page for fundraising tips and a Sample Letter. Use this Sponsorship Form to keep track of your sponsors and mail it in with your donations one week ahead of the TeamWalk (bring late sponsorships with you). All funds raised through TeamWalk will support SPF Research Awards.

Lunch and Program after the TeamWalk
A donor has graciously agreed to provide lunch for TeamWalkers. Registration is needed to ensure there is enough food, so please be sure to let us know if you'll be staying for lunch in the Form below. Details are pending regarding a special Program speaker.

Why Your Support Matters

There is currently no treatment to prevent, stop or reverse the degenerative process in PLS or HSP. These diseases attack one’s ability to walk, often leaving their victims in wheelchairs. They can also rob people of the ability to use their hands and arms, and, even to speak or cause other neurological problems as well. The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation is the only organization in the Americas that is dedicated to raising funds specifically for HSP and PLS research. The organization is 100% volunteer-managed and the TeamWalk For Our Cures is the national, community event to raise funds for research.
