The Cure SPG47 Dream Big Sweepstakes has come to an end. Despite our lofty goals for this campaign, we were unsuccessful in raising sufficient funds to award a prize after factoring in the costs of setting up, registering, bonding, and advertising the campaign. We are grateful to those who participated in the Sweepstakes nonetheless. Please email us at info@cureap4.org if you would like to request a refund. Thank you for your support!

A group of families fighting an ultra-rare genetic disorder called SPG47 are racing to fund a gene therapy clinical trial that could lead to the first ever treatment.

A team at Boston Children's Hospital is ready to move forward — but $4 million must be raised in order to begin the trial. For these children and families, this research represents hope for the future.

Every share, every donation, and every voice helps move this forward. Please help us spread the word and support the families working to fund a potential treatment for SPG47. Sharing this link with your network on social media is optional and not required to enter, but please consider doing so!
