Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page on iFundraise.ie
I'm taking part in VHI 2019 Mini Marathon on Sunday 2nd of June 2019 .

I will be fund raising for PSPA Ireland . All funds raised here will go directly to this great cause.

The reason I have chosen PSPA to fund raise for, is because my dad was diagnosised with PSP nearly 5 years ago. He passed away on the 30th of Apiril after a heroic battle.

PSP or Progressive Supranuclear Palsy to give it its full name is a rare neurological disease which is caused by the progressive death of nerve cells in the brain. It is an exceptionally cruel disease which progressively robs people of their ability to walk, talk, see and finally swallow. Frequent unexpected falls can lead to serious injury - so it is 24 hour care which can be both physically and emotionally challenging.

It is estimated that there are 280 cases of PSP in Ireland, 4,000 cases in the UK and 20,000 in America as it remains largely undiagnosed and under reported with no known treatment or cure.  I would like to raise money for this charity, PSPA Ireland to help raise awareness of this disease, for research and also possible treatment.

I hope you can help me by donating whatever you can. Every little helps no matter how big or small and would be greatly appreciated.
