The Power of 12: You’ve Been Challenged

What if the cure for a rare disease started with just twelve people?

That’s the heart behind the Power of 12. Here’s how it works: you’re invited—no, challenged—to reach out to 12 friends. Ask each one to give $12 a month, for 12 months. That’s it. Simple numbers, but if you do the math, the impact multiplies fast.

But this isn’t just a fundraiser. It’s a movement. A way to turn small acts of generosity into a wave of hope for families living with rare diseases like Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS). These aren’t conditions you see on billboards or in blockbuster charity campaigns. They’re quiet, devastating, and too often overlooked. But the need for research is urgent—and the chance to help is right in front of you.

So, you’ve been challenged. Be one of the twelve. Invite your friends to do the same. Together, you’ll create something that lasts—a movement fueled by hope, generosity, and the simple power of showing up for each other.
