Introduction
The PSP Association is the only organisation in the UK dedicated to the support of people with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and the related disease Cortico Basal Degeneration (CBD), as well as those who care for them. The charity was first established as a registered charity in 1994 by Brigadier Michael Koe, OBE and his wife Sara after she was diagnosed as having PSP. Today, the charity has invested over £2m into research that will lead to a greater understanding of PSP and CBD, the causes, possible prevention and ways to achieve earlier and better diagnosis and the development of effective treatments. In 2008/09 alone, the charity invested £400,000 into research.
