Estimations indicate that some 200,000 in the United States alone have Tourette Syndrome
Description of Cause:

Of these 200.000, children contribute to roughly 80% of this ever growing population. There are no cures for Tourette Syndrome and treatment is still fairly limited. Though we have come a long way there is still much we do not know about this disorder. The symptoms of TS can be very disrupting, painful, embarrasing and devistating if not treated physically and emotionally. I urge you to join with me to continue to serve the thoudands of children suffering from this disorder. We may not have a cure, but with support we can have treat the suffering.

Mission Statement:

Our mission is to offer resources and referrals to help people and their families cope with the problems that occur with TS. We are dedicated to raise public awareness and counter media stereotypes about TS.
