President of Iowa Tourette's Advocacy and Awareness

My 9 year old was recently diagnosed with TS. Iowa at the time didn't have any resources to assist in awareness, fundraising or support. My wife and I started a non profit to spread awareness and raise funds to provide school systems with the appropriate resources to help students with special needs.
