Story
PSPA is a national charity providing support and information to people living with PSP and CBD, while funding research into treatments and ultimately a cure. We rely entirely on voluntary donations, and that's why we need your support.
By embarking on the MVF my aim is to raise awareness of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). It is a neurological condition caused by the premature loss of nerve cells in certain parts of the brain. Over time this can lead to difficulties with balance, movement, vision, speech, and swallowing.
It’s atypical presentation, unique in every case, means misdiagnosis is a frequent occurrence. Any time gained to enable effective management of symptoms by early recognition of PSP is precious. I have witnessed first hand my Mum’s frustrations when initially misdiagnosed. The PSPA’s collaborative approach to research will help minimise these occurrences.
Please donate and help PSPA realise their vision of a PSP free world.
