TeamWalk For Our Cures walkathon
Join everyone for a TeamWalk along one of the park trails.
Walk, roll, or stroll as much as you desire.
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.

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.
