Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a Parkinson’s-like neurological condition caused by the premature loss of nerve cells in certain parts    of    the    brain.    Over    time    this    leads    to    difficulties with balance, movement, vision, speech and swallowing.

Research suggests around 4,000 people are living with PSP in the UK at any one time. In its early stages, symptoms can resemble those of other neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Stroke or Multiple System Atrophy, with the result that initial misdiagnosis is common.

Our close family friend Glenys suffers from this horrible, debilitating condition and I am running this marathon for her and other PSP sufferers in the hope that more research can be done into the condition.
