Story
Our mammy Peggy Conway was diagnosed with Progressing Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) on the 26th October 2020 and died on the 23 October 2022.
PSP is a rare neurological disorder that affects your body movements, walking and balance, and eye movement. It results from damage to nerve cells in areas of the brain that control thinking and body movement
Mammy fought one of the toughest battles you could ever imagine and prayed daily for a cure. Her strength throughout this disease was nothing short of remarkable.
Due to the nature of this disease, it eventually meant that we needed 24 hour care for Mammy.
There is currently no cure for this disease and it is so rare not many know about it and the effects of it. As a result of this we want to raise funds to help support future research so families don't have to endure what our mother did and hopefully a cure can be found.
That's why we have created this go fund me page to raise money to help other families who are in the heartbreaking position of having a loved one diagnosed with PSP.
As a family we will be completing the belfast Marathon on 30th April.
Anything you give will go straight to this charity, no matter how big or small, all donations are hugely appreciated.
