## Description

The Spastic Paraplegia Foundation (SPF) is a U.S. nonprofit dedicated to people affected by Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), rare, progressive neurological disorders that affect voluntary muscles and can impair walking. Its mission is to fund medical research toward cures, share information about research and treatment options, and help individuals and families live full, productive lives.

SPF supports research through grants, research initiatives, and collaboration, while helping connect the HSP and PLS communities with current studies and opportunities to participate. Its educational resources cover topics such as genetics, treatments, therapies, clinical research, and navigating care. The foundation also offers practical guides, directories for physicians and physical therapists, information for children and teens, and links to related organizations.

Community services include support groups, events, an annual conference, advocacy opportunities, and ways to volunteer or raise funds. SPF welcomes people with HSP or PLS, their families, researchers, and supporters to join its community, learn about these conditions, and contribute to greater awareness and progress toward diagnosis, treatment, and cures.
