In memory of my Dad, Nick Holford, who passed away from PSP in January this year, my husband, Ian, and I are cycling 160 miles over two days from my childhood home in Horsham West Sussex to my Dad's home before he passed away in Langham, Rutland. Before I started training I had never cycled more than 20 miles. Ian will be riding my Dad's old bike from the early 70s.

PSP is a condition in which the messages to and from the brain get increasingly blocked causing a gradual shut down. A bit like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and MND, rolled into one but with no treatment currently available. My Dad fought like a trooper, was brave until the end, facing it like the scientist he was and ensuring we fulfilled his final wish, to donate his brain for research into this cruel disease.

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.
