SPONSORSHIP REQUEST FROM ANDREW
If you don't already know, I'm going to be taking part in the
Cambridgeshire 200Km Bike Ride and I have decided to raise funds for MTS
(Mute Tourette's Syndrome). A friend has a 7yr old son that suffers from
this and we are raising funds to pay for a year's therapy.
Mute Tourette's Syndrome (MTS) has long been in the shadow of its more
'famous' Sister-disease, 'Tourette's Syndrome', where the sufferer cannot
contain outbursts of often very 'colourful' language. Although much rarer,
Mute Tourette's Syndrome is even more tragic in its consequences. While a
child suffering from Tourette's has difficulty in containing its anger and
frustration and the expression of that frustration can be embarrassing all
round, 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,
like all good ideas it takes money to deliver this therapy. 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.
Many Thanks in advance.
