Message from CEO Emma McNally.
I want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who supported our BBC Lifeline Appeal by watching, sharing, commenting and helping raise awareness of Tourette syndrome.
Over the past few weeks, we've shared the stories of Danielle, Freya and Matthew with audiences across the UK. Their stories have helped to challenge misconceptions about Tourette’s and shine a light on the importance of understanding, support and community.
We're incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make the appeal possible, especially our presenter Eddie Marsan, our contributors and their families, and the BBC team who worked alongside us to bring these important stories to life.
Thank you to every single person who watched, shared a post, left a comment, started a conversation, or made a donation. Every action helped us reach more people and increase understanding of Tourette syndrome.
And lastly thank you to my wonderful team at TA who have worked their socks off to pull this together.
Although the BBC appeal has now ended, our work continues. Every day, Tourettes Action provides support, information and advocacy for people living with Tourette syndrome and their families.
We're proud to have brought the voices of the Tourette’s community to a national audience and look forward to building on the awareness created through this incredible opportunity.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
