PSP took my dad back in 2017 at 61 years old. I was 29. I had never heard of it and I had never considered mortality before the day we learned of his illness. PSP or Progressive Supranuclear Palsy is an irreversible form of aggressive dementia that takes down your front temporal lobe and as such your ability to use logic and speech to communicate. It’s a slow at first, aggressive on the backend, illness with no cure and not near enough funding for research to find a causation or a treatment to slow it down. My heard goes out to Coach Atkinson, his family, and everyone else who has ever been affected by this horrible and relatively unknown disease. Here’s to you @WerderEdNFL , for helping spread awareness. Here’s to a better tomorrow #PSP #PSPresearch #Dementia
One of the most successful high school coaches in the area, family friend and former Marcus HS football coach Kevin Atkinson, is enduring an irreversible medical challenge. He can’t speak or walk and needs help eating. He now requires home health care to support his wife Chrissy. Please consider donating if you have the means. Grateful for your support: find Team Atkinson’s GoFundMe via the link here. #PSP gofund.me/a8c406e72View quoted post on X
