In 2021, we sadly lost my beautiful Nanny to PSP, a rare neurological disorder. She had unknowingly been battling with PSP for the best part of five years. Unfortunately she did not have a diagnosis of PSP until after her death, as she had been wrongly diagnosed with dementia. If PSP were better understood and recognised, my Nanny and my Pops could have accessed the vital support offered by PSPA - support that could have made the last years of her life so much easier.

PSPA is the only UK charity dedicated to creating a better future for everyone affected by Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal Degeneration. I have seen first-hand the incredible work PSPA does, and I want to do everything I can to help ensure that other families don’t have to face this journey without the right support and answers.

When a last-minute charity place came up to run the London Landmarks Half Marathon for PSPA, I couldn’t turn it down. My Nanny would find it absolutely hilarious that I’m running at all (never mind a half marathon!) but I know she’d be proud.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much to me and will help PSPA continue their vital work supporting families and funding research. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and for any support you’re able to give ❤️
