I am taking part in a charity bike ride on 12th april to raise funds for Mute Tourette's Syndrome. My 7yr old nephew suffers from this and we are raising funds to pay for a years therapy.
Mute Tourette's Syndrome has long been in the shadow of its more famous sister-disease, 'Tourette's Syndrome', and although much rarer, is even more tragic in its consequences. While a child suffering from Tourette's has difficulty in containing its anger and frustration, a child with Mute Tourette's suffers a worse fate, and is unable to express their true feelings.
There is, however, an answer. A great deal has been achieved by the Mute Tourette's Foundation using new art therapy techniques. However, their work can only continue with your help. Just £2.50 will keep a child supplied with crayons for a whole day. £10.00 will provide them with enough paper for a week.
I would be extremely grateful to anyone who feels able to help such a deserving cause.
Many Thanks in advance.
