Today, marks World HSP & PLS Awareness Day—a day dedicated to standing alongside families, advocates, researchers, and organizations worldwide in the fight against Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP) and Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS).
For the Maurya Koduri Foundation, this day hits close to home. Childhood-onset SPG4 is extremely rare, progressive, and currently without an approved treatment. But for us, raising awareness is just the first step.
Over the past year, we have continued to unite families and leading scientists across the globe, funding critical research and advancing multiple therapeutic avenues. What once felt like an insurmountable obstacle has grown into a powerful, coordinated movement to transform the future for children affected by SPG4.
Awareness gives us a voice. Research gives us hope. And for these children, time is everything.
