Welcome to my Blogg. I am doing a 24 hour kayak challange to raise money and awareness of PSP a little known disease. My mum was diagnosed with this recently.

Friday, 27 April 2012

On the 23-24 June this year I am hoping to paddle for approx 24hrs from Stirling to Glasgow and then Edinburgh covering more than 100 miles.
The aim is to raise as much money as possible for the PSP association and also to raise awareness for this disease.
PSP (Progressive Nuclear Palsy) is a progressive disease with no treatment or cure. Gradually sufferers lose their ability to speak and lose strength in their limbs. In the final stages they will be bed bound and tube fed. While their bodies fail them, very often they are still very aware of what is going on. The PSP association help families and their carers to understand the disease and fund research to find treatment and a cure.
