Story
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)is a rare condition which is extremely difficult to diagnose. Patients with the condition experience balance issues, slowness of movement and problems with their speech, vision and swallow.
PSP Association (PSPA) is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of people living with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD). They 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.
My Mum was diagnosed with PSP during lockdown last year. Despite being a doctor, I knew very little about the condition. PSPA have been amazing in supporting Mum in coming to terms with her diagnosis and in providing invaluable information to Dad and I to help us better understand the condition and how best to support Mum as her condition progresses.
Please help me support this amazing charity and the incredible work they do supporting patients and families living with PSP and CBD.
