Story

Thanks for viewing my page and any donation for PSPA will be much appreciated.

Despite what it says on my picture, it's for Janet.

In memory of my late wife, Janet, who was diagnosed with PSP in January 2017. Janet led an active life and it was most difficult seeing her become completely helpless as a result of the cruel disease PSP. Fortunately, and for which I am truly grateful, I was strong enough to look after her at home throughout. Sadly, she passed away during the Covid crisis which created a few issues and difficult decisions. Janet was a loving and caring person who helped others in so many ways.

My daughter has run the last two London Marathons for PSPA . Now it's my turn to take on a tough challenge - well tough for an octogenarian. However, if I manage to complete the challenge my total ascent will exceed the height of Mount Everest by some margin. That sounds impressive, but comes nowhere near the challenge PSP sufferers face daily.

PSPA is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of people living with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). We provide information and support for people affected by PSP & CBD whilst funding research into the causes, treatment, and eventually a cure. Together we can stop PSP & CBD in their tracks.
