This page is for any of our family and friends wishing to make donations in memory of our wonderful wife, mum and nana - Vivienne Osborne.

Viv was diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Through this page we hope to raise awareness of PSP, and raise funds for this rare and untreatable condition.

There are believed to be around 4,000 people living with PSP in the UK at any one time.

There are no simple tests or brain scans for PSP. In its early stages, symptoms can resemble those of other neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Stroke or Multiple System Atrophy and misdiagnosis is common.

This is how the condition gets its name:

- Progressive – it steadily worsens over time

- Supranuclear – it damages the nuclei that control eye movements.

- Palsy – it causes weakness.

Each case of PSP is unique and symptoms can be experienced with varying degrees of severity and at different stages of progression.

Like many other chronic conditions, there is no cure for PSP. However many of the symptoms can be managed to help people achieve the best possible quality of life.

The PSP Association is the only charity supporting people with this condition in the UK, so we thank you for your support for a cause that is so close to our hearts.
