NJCTS Youth Advocate Mike Hayden inspired his high school English class to organize, promote, and host a TS awareness event with “Teens Tackle Tourette’s.” They recently held their main event by hosting an awareness walk on their HS campus. Over the past few months, NJCTS and Mike have educated his class about Tourette Syndrome and answered questions about the misunderstood disorder. The T3 students are a passionate group and we are so proud of all they have accomplished. Check back soon for more pictures and details.
A group of students enjoy the Teens Tackle Tourette’s (T3) walk, held at Pascack Hills High School on Sunday, May 22. The class raised more than $1,120 for the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome. Pascack Hills student Michael Hayden poses with Dr. David Levesque, of Westwood. The two have Tourette syndrome and have made it their mission to spread the word about the disease.
