of interest) and have fun.
TeamWalk for our Cures, 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. After the Connection Forum, we’ll hold our TeamWalk in a lovely, accessible
nature path at Horn Pond. Individuals can walk, roll or stroll as little or as
much as desired. Our TeamWalk is about participation.

Our annual TeamWalk is our major effort to raise funds for 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.
