It's called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy or PSP.  It is a rare neurodegenerative brain disease with no known cause, treatment, or cure.  PSP is frequently confused with Parkinson's, ALS, and Alzheimer's.

Today on Good Morning Maryland @ 9, Jamie not only got expert information on this disease, he spoke with a woman who is walking 700 miles to raise awareness and money.  Sandy McWilliams is walking from Kentucky to Delaware in honor of her mom who has PSP.  She began June 8th and is now making her way through Maryland.
