Story

PSP is a tough illness to watch especially to those you cherish. PSP affected my Dads (Alans) behaviour, swallowing, balance and speech among other dementia related symptoms. My mum (Shona), also very sadly died last year from dementia. Both great people, much loved and much missed especially by their family.  

Tom and I wanted to do our bit to raise funds for the wonderful work carried out by PSPA and also for the carers/angels on earth that helped them in their last days. If we are able to reach our target for PSP all excess funds will be given to the Phylis Tuckwell hospice in Farnham that looked after them and Toms grandma Jane so brilliantly as well. 

 This is Toms first marathon. This is my fifth and (prediction) slowest. Sadly, as the marathon training is proving, this is one area of life where experience will most definitely not triumph over youth .....although Tom has promised to wait for me at the end!

Anything you can donate to help these causes would be fabulous. Thank you.   

 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 aim to improve the lives of everyone affected by PSP and CBD. We rely entirely on voluntary donations, and that's why we need your support.
