The HSP Support Group helps people diagnosed with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia [also known as Familial Spastic Paraparesis]. It is a UK based Registered Charity and was started as a 'self-help' group in 1989 by Stephanie Wyatt to support her affected husband and son. We now have over 300 members in the UK. We are trying to reach more people with the condition, this remains a problem due to the rarity of diagnoses.
