Welcome to our November 2021 newsletter. As we head towards the end of the year, we're sure you won't want to miss the last TSC information event we have lined up for you - our TAND+ Conference on 20 November which features three international TSC experts. 

Jackie Gambrell, TSA General Manager

Register today for TSA's TAND+ Conference on Saturday 20 November to learn more about TAND, which includes anxiety and depression, challenging behaviours and learning difficulties in people living with TSC. This is a full-day in-person event for everyone who can get to  Perth, WA and a half-day online event for everyone around Australia. Grant funding is available. 

In October's issue of Research Round Up you can read about the recently updated international TSC management and surveillance guidelines and watch a video with Clare Stuart on improving healthcare for people with TSC around the world.

Thank you to everyone who came along and so generously supported our virtual Comedy for a Cure event held on Saturday 30 October.

You helped to make it a great night and a huge success. We are thrilled to announce we raised $14,700 to help and support people living with TSC. 

Special shout outs to our digital emcee Rob Rossano, parent speaker Amelia Tausilia and the hilarious comedians Gary Eck Lizzie Hoo, Andrew Barnett and Eric Hutton. And finally, to our Patron Sponsor, Baker McKenzie we extend our sincere thanks for your generous sponsorship.

Thank you to everyone who completed our survey to support TSA's advocacy for free Abdominal MRIs.  We will keep you up to date with our progress.

Heartfelt thanks to Samantha Smith who recently raised over $3,700 for TSA in honour of her daughter, Isabel who lives with TSC. 

Samantha organised a huge garden raffle and inspired her family, friends and local community to buy raffle tickets and make donations to their #Heroes4Isabel campaign.

What a fantastic effort, thank you and well done!.

If you need information or support about any aspect of living with TSC you can contact the TSA Nurse. This is a free service.
