Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most people know my son, Fraser, was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome last year aged 10. It’s difficult to know the impact this will have on him in the future but even in the short space of time since his diagnosis it’s clear he will face challenges, particularly throughout his teenage years.

As Fraser is moving up to high school this year we have been receiving support from Tourette Scotland. Part of this is pulling together plans to help enable school staff to understand his needs and accommodate them as best possible. Tourette Scotland also provide training to schools and clubs and run regular online information sessions to help increase awareness and understanding of this misunderstood condition.

As all the support is given free of charge I feel compelled to try and give something back, hence deciding to take the plunge by doing this bungee jump in Perthshire in April.

I know times are tough but any donations of any amount will be gratefully received 🥰
