Join us for the 25th Annual Comedy for a Cure benefiting the TSC Alliance on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at the Irvine Improv.

During the event we will be honoring Anna Todd with the TSC Spotlight Award.

Anna Todd is a​​​​​​​ TSC mom with a 14-year-old son, Asher, who was diagnosed as an infant. Her entrance into the world of TSC was dramatic when her son started having seizures days after he was b​​​​​​​orn. As a young mom she had to not only adjust to caring for an infant but also had to learn how to navigate the challenges of a rare disease. Anna began writing as an outlet and found her voice in this medium. She became a best-selling, world renown author of romance novels with publications in multiple languages.​​​​​​​ Anna has most recently used this platform to write a new book, The Last Sunrise, which follows the story of a young adult with TSC and will be released as a feature film in the Summer of 2026!
