When my mum was first diagnosed with Corticobasal Degeneration in 2015, we had no idea what lay ahead of us and little if any knowledge of the disease.

Mum put up an incredible fight against CBD, determined to live with dignity and enjoy the time she had. And she did that with such composure for the best part of eight years. During that time we had amazing help from the PSPA, carers, medics and most importantly her friends who visited her regularly. 

We kept her wish to live her life at home and this she did, passing away in August 2022. Now I want to try and give a little back by running the marathon in 2024. 

Any support you can give, however small will be invaluable for the PSPA to be able to continue the amazing work they do.

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.
