| Welcome to TEAM SNOWBOARDINGFORTOURETTES! Our team snowboards at various mountains, to benefit more than just their own health. With every run down the trails they help the national Tourette Syndrome Association get One Run Closer To A Cure.
With your tax deductible gift, TSA can continue to fund a world-wide cutting edge research program to discover a cause and find a cure for TS, while providing educational programs, awareness activities and other services for people living with TS and their families.
SNOWBOARDINGFORTOURETTES snowboarding team will be snowboarding various mountains in New England. Season 2008/2009. With every run, they will be making their dreams come true. That dream is to help fund research to find a cure for Tourette Syndrome.
TS, an inherited neurobiological disorder, is characterized by involuntary sudden movements and vocalizations, known as tics. A common misconception is that those affected curse uncontrollably. In fact, less than 10 percent of those affected have what is known as coprolalia. What causes TS is not yet fully understood, and to date, a cure has not been found. It is estimated that one person out of a hundred has a mild form of the disorder and one in one thousand has a severe case of TS.
