Corporate Partnership

Rewrite the future with us.

Partner With Us

Childhood-onset SPG4 is a devastating neurodegenerative disease. Children experience rapid, progressive loss of mobility that can extend to the core, arms, speech, and cognition — often within the first decade of life. With no approved treatments, advancing meaningful research has never been more urgent. The Lilly and Blair Foundation is coordinating global gene therapy development, strengthening biomarker discovery, building essential disease models, and connecting the institutions driving this work.

Corporate partners play a critical role. By aligning with this mission, your company accelerates scientific progress and helps rewrite the future for children with SPG4.
