Love the name!!

Can't see many carers of PSP sufferers having the time or energy to devote to this cause.

Maybe this website should be mandatory reading for all committee members!, since it seems to be the 'safe port in a storm' for PSP and other degenerative brain diseases. I have learned so much from tne challenges faced by the carers here and the responses.

I hope that someone will come forward though, since it will benefit so many!

You are so right! Maybe someone who used to be a carer for someone with PSP could do it though? It would be quite a coup to get PSP on the agenda?
