Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a fatal degenerative brain disease affecting around 4,000 UK citizens at any one time. Dudley Moore is its most famous victim. It's frequently misdiagnosed, is under-researched and sufferers often receive inadequate support.

The PSP Association, founded by my friend's father after his wife contracted the disease, funds critical research into the causes, treatments and eventual cure of this cruel disease, and provides much needed support to victims and their families.

Please help me support them by sponsoring my Marathon run this year. 

To make things more interesting, I am taking on the challenge of beating 4hrs in my 40s (this run), 5hrs in my 50s, 6hrs in my 60s and so on. I will take a break in my 90s and resume in 2070 with a gentle 10 hour jog.

The PSP Association is an excellent, well run charity which does vital work.  I hope you can help.
