Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.
Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
This year we are running and hoping to raise money for the PSP Association, as unfortunately a family member has recently been diagnosed with this disease and the money raised will contribute towards support for her and other PSP patients and for futher research into PSP.
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a brain disease. It entails the progressive death of neurons or nerve endings in the brainstem and basal ganglia above the nuclei in the brain (hence ‘supra’nuclear). This is the area that controls balance, movement, vision (particularly upgaze and downgaze) speech and the ability to swallow, hence the main symptoms, some of which may not appear or progress at all or until later in the disease. However, other symptoms, including behavioural changes, may also appear. The rate of progression of symptoms varies considerably from person to person.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The PSP Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support.
