Living life to the full with PSP

Karen’s husband David was diagnosed with PSP in 2015. Despite the challenges of PSP, her family continued to live life to the full.

Karen said: "Early on in our PSP journey someone kindly said we should use our time to make more memories with our young family.

"This did not require much effort as we continued to live life to the full, taking David everywhere with us, despite the challenges. In September 2016 we organised an impromptu trip to Brazil to see jaguars in the Pantanal, the Iguazu Falls and attended the Paralympics in Rio.

"David was still very mobile at that point though a bit unsteady on his feet. His enthusiasm for wildlife and his great sense of humour prevailed."
