Honorary Walker by Proxy Program
Help take us
one step closer to a cure - from your home!
...as a
"Walker by Proxy"
An assigned Walker will wear your nametag and walk for you in your honor in Pleasanton, California
on October 6. If you'd like, we’ll post your photo or note on the special Walker by Proxy
board along with all of the other Walkers by Proxy.
You'll collect sponsorships in your spirit, just as though you were walking at
the TeamWalk! If you’d like, you can take your own TeamWalk at home while your
Walker is walking for you in California.
How to raise sponsorships: The most effective way to get sponsorships is
to ask your family and friends directly. The next-best way is a letter-writing
campaign. Visit Tips and Forms for detailed
suggestions and Sample Letters.
Print out this Sponsorship Form
(PDF file) to track your sponsorships and mail in with your donations. Please
send all donations to SPF TeamWalk, PO Box 1208, Fortson, GA 31808 by
Sept. 28. All sponsorships are appreciated and add up! See
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.
