Tourette Awareness

Sunday May 28th marks the 15th anniversary of the Trek for Tourette. This is the Tourette Syndrome awareness walk which will be done across Canada.  Our Muskoka chapter will commence the Trek at 1pm from Gull Lake park through the streets of Gravenhurst. Come on out and cheer or honk your horns if you drive by our group.May 15 through June 15 is TS awareness month. We wear teal to support TS awareness. Fyonna Vanderwerf, owner of Hive Muskoka in Bracebridge is not only participating in the Trek with her dog Jack but is also promoting awareness at her amazing and inclusive gym. She’s been spreading the word and helping to raise money for our Muskoka chapter. Funds generated through Trek for Tourette will help our Tourette Muskoka chapter to continue delivering its excellent support and educational programs and enable the organization to enhance and expand its current offerings.
Seeing someone with Tourette’s having tics is uncomfortable for some. This is why awareness and education is so important. Many people with TS are made fun of. My daughter has struggled with this. I’m so grateful that she has put together a team including good friends, gym members (and their awesome pups). This is the second year Kal and I have proudly participated.
