RUN, WALK, CYCLE
      
FOR A CHILD

At the Tourette Syndrome Association we are continually touched and inspired by children living with TS.

Some of the stories are heartbreaking as children face uncontrollable movement and vocal tics. We see their pain as they struggle to do simple everyday things that most people take for granted. In school where every child longs for acceptance, they face the harshness of their peers for being different.

But in the face of adversity, these young souls often master the wisdom of adults. They rise to overcome TS and refuse to let it define their entire existence.

They begin to project a positive attitude on life and seek out avenues to make an impact on the world. Some have started to teach their classmates and others about TS in the hope of bringing awareness and an understanding of the disorder. Others have stood up before the United States Congress and spoken to legislators to reveal the intimate details of their lives and challenges.

When you join Team TSA, you have the option of running, walking or cycling on behalf of one of these amazing children. If you choose to be a part of the program, we can provide you with a picture and bio of one of these children to use on the fundraising page you will be building online. In addition, you can let your sponsors know you are competing on behalf of this child.

If you have a child, a family member or a friend living with TS, you can choose to run, walk or cycle on their behalf. You will receive easy instructions on how to build a webpage in honor of that person on our Team TSA site. You will be able to upload a photo and write information about them or your family and use the page to raise funds. This is the perfect opportunity to tell their story or the story of your family dealing with TS.
