TEAM TSA

One Lap Closer To A Cure!

Welcome to TEAM TSA! Our members get fit participating in a variety of athletic events to benefit the national Tourette Syndrome Association. With every step they help TSA get more One Lap Closer To A Cure!

With your support, TSA can continue to fund research to discover a cause and find a cure for TS, while providing education and awareness programs for this often misunderstood disorder and services for those living with TS and their families.

TS, an inherited neurobiological disorder, is characterized by involuntary sudden movements and vocalizations, known as tics. The onset of TS can begin in early childhood. 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.

TSA is the only national voluntary non-profit membership organization in this field. Our mission is to identify the cause, find the cure and control the effects of this often misunderstood disorder.TSA oversees its Research Fund which provides grants to highly qualified scientists in major universities and research centers as they strive to uncover the mysteries of TS in relentless pursuit of its cause and cure.

Please join our mission. Your support can make a difference!
