Reach Out April 2019

#Tatts4TSC
Do something fun and get a tattoo to raise awareness and
funds for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
Don’t worry, they’re just temporary!
You can join this year’s TSC Global Awareness Day celebrations by joining our
#Tatts4TSC campaign.
Getting involved is easy:
Talk to your workplace about holding a gold coin morning tea on 15 May 2019.
You could also host an event at home, or in your playgroup or school.
1. Register your event at www.tsa.org.au/Tatts4TSC or contact Kate on 0434 391 430.
2. Send an email to your colleagues or friends letting them know what’s happening.
3. On May 15, decorate the event space with posters we will supply, take your collection tin and temporary tattoos and
talk to your colleagues and friends about TSC and why we need their help.
4. Donate the funds raised to TSA.
5. Everyone who registers an event gets 20 x free temporary tattoos to share with their supporters to raise awareness of
TSC. Get in quickly to secure yours.
If the Cancer Council can raise millions each year through The Biggest Morning Tea – surely we can raise awareness of
TSC and a few dollars too.
Go social
We’d love to see your events and your tatts on
Instagram and Facebook. Use the #Tatts4TSC hashtag
and tag us @AuTSC
What if organising an event is not your thing?
You can still join us by purchasing a temporary tattoo.
Visit www.tsa.org.au/Tatts4TSC and select the ‘buy it
now’ option. Tattoos are two for $10 or 5 for $20,
including postage.
Why the wave?
You’ll notice our temporary tattoo design
features a wave. People living with TSC liken
their journey to riding waves. There are highs
and lows and unpredictable tides that threaten
to tow you under. We believe that even though
we often can’t control the TSC waves, we can
learn to surf.
Everyone who supports #Tatts4TSC can wear
their temporary tattoo with pride, knowing
they’ve helped someone with TSC learn to ride
the waves.
Thank you to everyone who got involved in #Tatts4TSC in 2018.
You helped raise lots of awareness and $3,000. What a great start.
Let’s make 2019 bigger and better!
#Tatts4TSC is an initiative inspired by TSC Global Awareness Day. One million people
worldwide have TSC. There is no cure, but research is helping find new and better treatments.
We won’t give up the fight until we have a cure. This year join the worldwide fight on Global
Awareness Day, 15 May 2019.
Your support will help us increase awareness of this rare genetic disease and raise vital funds to improve the lives of families
facing the challenges of TSC. Visit our website to register now: www.tsa.org.au/Tatts4TSC or contact Kate on 0434 391 430.
