Thank you for visiting my Fund Raising page which has been set up as Tribute to my fabulous Brother and Mentor, Peter Woodward, Known to most as ‘Woody’.
On 26 October 2010 it will be my 50 Birthday. Just eight years younger than Peter when he passed away! Many people have asked what I would like for my Birthday; Truth is that I do not need anything. However, what I really would appreciate would be for Friends and Family to visit www.pspeur.org and find Peter’s Tribute Page where they can make a donation to this fund.
Peter sadly passed away from PSP on 19 July 2010. Peter was a very special person and lived only for his family. He was always bubbly and happy and such a lovely person to know. A real practical Joker. I miss him a lot, as do his family and friends. Seeing him suffer from this awful disease which robbed him of his quality of life was extremely difficult. My wonderful Sister in Law and Niece cared for Peter throughout his illness right up the end of his life.
PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) is an incurable brain disease involving the progressive death of neurons or nerve endings which control balance, movement, vision, speech and ability to swallow.
On Sunday 17April 2011, Jill Shakespeare, a close family friend, will be taking part in the 2011 London Marathon to raise funds for PSP. I would really appreciate your donation in aid of the PSP Association. All donations received will go towards the funding of research into the cause of the illness, treatment and eventual cure. You can either contribute via this site or on a sponsor form which I have with me.
Many thanks to those who have already sponsored Jill on her official PSP Sponsorship form, and to those of you who haven't, please dig deep!
Thanks so much for your support. I really appreciate it.
Mike
PS. Apparently I am having a Birthday Party at Home on Saturday 4 December 2010. Everyone is welcome – Provided they have made a contribution. Please remember – No Presents!
