Laura Louizos

Meet Laura, an unstoppable force of love, compassion, and resilience. In 2018, her life took an unexpected turn when her beloved mother was diagnosed with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Despite the struggle and sacrifice that came with being a primary caregiver, Laura faced these challenges with grace and determination.

When her mother passed away in May 2019, Laura turned her pain into purpose, focusing on spreading awareness for PSP. Her mission? To shed light on this often overlooked condition.

After the loss of her mother, Laura sought solace in the serene beauty of Barbados, a journey that lasted from September 2020 till February 2021. When she returned, she enrolled in a Personal Support Worker (PSW) course, furthering her knowledge and skills in care-giving.

Laura's newfound abilities were put to test when her father experienced a near-death medical episode in January 2022. Undeterred, Laura once again stepped into the role of a caregiver, showcasing an unyielding strength that continues to inspire.

Today, Laura volunteers full time for the Coleen Cunningham foundation (CCF) for PSP Awareness, using her personal experiences to raise awareness about PSP. She supports others navigating the same challenging journey, standing as a beacon of hope and a pillar of support. Laura's journey is a testament to her dedication and unwavering commitment to making a difference in the world of PSP. She continues to inspire many with her resilience and courage.
