This is for all caregivers—past and present, patients, family, friends, and other loved ones. Many of you know I have been banging the PSP-CBD awareness drum for over 10 years. There isn't much that I get over. Other than making artisan ice cream and The Curse of Oak Island, this new Faces and Voices Campaign shares the top spot.

It is time for our faces to be seen, and our voices heard.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Coleen Cunningham Foundation’s Support and Advocacy Committee Launches Global "Faces & Voices" Campaign for PSP Awareness

October 15, 2024 - The Coleen Cunningham Foundation (CCF) is proud to announce the launch of the "Faces & Voices" campaign, an initiative aimed at increasing global awareness about Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). This campaign will feature personal stories from those diagnosed with PSP, caregivers, family members, friends, and medical professionals to illuminate the realities of living with this often-misunderstood neurological condition.

About the Campaign:

- Purpose: To educate the public about PSP, its symptoms, challenges, and the impact on those affected.

- Platform: Utilizing a significant Google AdWords campaign with a monthly investment of $10,000 to maximize reach and engagement.

- Participation: We invite everyone connected to PSP to share their journey. Your story can inspire, educate, and bring comfort to others facing similar challenges.

How to Get Involved:

- Share Your Story: If you or someone you know has been touched by PSP, we encourage you to share your experiences. Your narrative can be a beacon of hope and understanding for others.

- Contact Us: For those interested in contributing or seeking more information, please reach out to the Coleen Cunningham Foundation or our campaign co-chairs:

- Tim Brown - Email:

tntbrown@rogers.com

- Peter Firmin - Email:

peterfirmin@gmail.com

Why This Matters:

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is a rare and devastating neurological disorder often mistaken for other conditions due to its similar symptoms to Parkinson’s disease, stroke, or Alzheimer’s. By sharing "Faces & Voices," we aim to:

- Raise Awareness: Educate communities and healthcare providers on the signs and symptoms of PSP.

- Support Research: Increase funding and interest in research for better treatments and ultimately, a cure.

- Build Community: Connect those affected by PSP, reducing isolation and providing a platform for shared experiences and support.

Join Us:

We are not just spreading awareness; we are building a community of support and advocacy. Your involvement can make a significant difference. Let's amplify the voices of those affected by PSP and ensure no one walks this path alone.

For Further Information:

Visit our campaign page at pspawareness.com/.../faces-...... or contact us directly for inquiries or to share your story.

Together, with your stories, we can light the path toward greater understanding, hope, and change for everyone touched by Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

Thank you,

Tim,

I sent Ruth's video in - and hopefully they can use it. Keep up the great work....as ever you are busier than the rest of us even though you are the one suffering the wretched PSP. I look forward to seeing the Faces & Voices campaign when it is released.

Richard 🙂
