Fundraising Snapshot Thank you to all our wonderful donors and fundraisers around Australia who support Tuberous Sclerosis Australia’s (TSA) essential information and support services. We need your help now more than ever. Over the last few years we have been receiving some grants that are no longer available to us. To keep going we depend on fundraising efforts from our community. If you would like to support TSA and get involved in raising funds we’d love to hear from you. Please call us on 1300 733 435 or email kate.garrard@tsa.org.au Surfside Caravan Park kids do some good in the school holidays group of children were A inspired by Kyah who has TSC, to raise some money for TSA. During the Christmas holidays at Surfside Caravan Park, on NSW’s South Coast, these terrific kids got together and held a food stall in the caravan park and raised $270 for TSA. What a great effort kids. Thank you so much! Surfside Caravan Park The Patriarchs and The Hard Loves rocked the night away for TSA TSC dad Elliott and his mates in the Patriarchs and The Hard Loves put on a fantastic show and raised over $2,500 for TSA in October last year at The Music Lounge in Brookvale. A massive thank you to these great bands for dedicating this night to help individuals with TSC. We look forward to the next one! Thanks to Lloyd in Darwin Lloyd’s daughter Katisha has TSC.

Katisha and Lloyd The Patriarchs and The Hard Loves 22 Melbourne joins the TSC hero action thanks to Alison Melbourne fun run, City2Sea was held on 12 November 2017. Alison, who is part of TSA’s management committee, raised over $3,100 for TSA. What a fantastic launch for TSC Heroes in Melbourne. Thank you to Alison, Nicole, Maria, Yvonne and Kelvin, and all their generous supporters. “Becoming a TSC hero was a really simple and fun way to support an organisation that is important to me, and I didn’t need to be a super fit athlete to participate. I just got involved in a local event, signed up online and picked TSA as my charity. When I told my friends and colleagues about it, many of them were happy to donate. It was really heart warming. I know the donations will make a big difference in the lives of people affected by TSC and I’m delighted to have been able to help. I hope you’ll join us next time,” says Alison.
