The Elizabeth Pinkerton Award is given annually by TSA to a health care professional who has gone 'above and beyond' for a patient living with TSC in Australia. Nominations come from you, the TSC Community. If you would like to say a special thanks and nominate one of your health care professionals, please nominate them now.  

If you, or someone you care for, lives with TSC, you might have experienced times when new symptoms or concerns were dismissed with the explanation: “it’s just part of TSC.” However, this simplification – known as diagnostic overshadowing - can sometimes lead to missed or delayed diagnoses. Read more about what diagnostic overshadowing is, how to spot it, and what you can do in our latest Research Insight. 

June is a a great time to choose to make a charity donation because your donations are fully tax deductible and may be claimed back right away. Additionally, when you choose to make a donation to TSA (Tuberous Sclerosis Australia) you will be helping everyone across Australia living with TSC.

If your loved one living with TSC - or you, as a person living with TSC - is celebrating a birthday or another milestone like recovering from an operation or learning to ride a bike, please send us a photo, along with name, birthdate and age (if you want to share this) and any other details and we'll share the celebration on TSA social media.
