I'm going to be taking part in a charity bike ride on 30th September to raise funds for Mute Tourette's Syndrome. A young friend has a 6 yr old son that suffers from this and we are raising funds to pay for therapy for him and other kids.
Mute Tourette's Syndrome has long been in the shadow of its better-known sister-disease, Tourette's Syndrome Disorder and, although much rarer, is even more tragic in its consequences. While a child suffering from Tourette's have 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.
The Mute Tourette's Foundation is using radical new art therapy techniques to help combat the frustration and loneliness of Mute Tourette's. However, their work can only continue with your help.
Just $1.00 will keep a child supplied with crayons and paper for a day. $8.00 will provide them with enough art supplies for a week (including paints and brushes etc). I would be extremely grateful to anyone who feels able to help such a deserving cause.
Attached is a picture to demonstrate how the donations received so far have been put to good use. :thumbsu:
Cheers and thanks in advance. PM me if you would like to help.
