7 years ago Christine contracted the rare illness PSP. This is an insidious disease which has stolen all normality from her life. Christine can no longer walk, speak, eat (she is currently surviving on a small number of nutritional supplements daily) and her vision has diminished. Christine is in constant pain and requires assistance with every aspect of her life. Despite this, she remains cheerful and has made us aware that she is keen to help others with this horrible illness, by roping her family into fundraising activities.  

Please help us raise funds by sponsoring her brother in law Greer, who will ride his Harley Davidson around Northern Ireland on Sunday, 25 July 2021. Greer will post photographs of this spectacular country, to share his journey with our supporters. 

PSPA is a national charity providing support and information to people living with PSP and CBD, whilst funding research into treatments and ultimately a cure. They aim to improve the lives of everyone affected by PSP and CBD. They rely entirely on voluntary donations, and that's why they need your support.

As a family we want to help Christine fundraise for the PSP Association, because she can't do it herself. It would make her so happy to know, that despite the restrictions this disease places upon her, she has managed to organise us to support this association that provides so much help and support to sufferers of this awful illness. As already stated, the PSP Association receives no Government support and relies totally on donations.

There are believed to be around 4,000 people living with PSP in the UK at any one time.

There are no simple tests or brain scans for PSP. In its early stages, symptoms can resemble those of other neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Stroke or Multiple System Atrophy and misdiagnosis is common.

Every donation, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.
