I'm getting on my Bike to cycle 100 miles for the Tuberous Sclerosis Association by taking part in the Ride 100 event!
The TSA are the only UK charity dedicated to supporting people affected by Tuberous Sclerosis Syndrome (TSC). TSC is a genetic condition that can lead to growths in various organs of the body, but those most commonly affected are the brain, eyes, heart, kidney, skin and lungs. These growths may also be referred to as tumours but they are not cancerous. When they cause problems it is mainly because of their size and where they are in the body. TSC growths have different names depending on which organ they are found in.
The impact of TSC varies considerably, with some people being relatively mildly affected (they may not even know they have TSC) and others being more significantly affected. This impact may be evident in the early years, or not until adulthood.
Please support me and the TSA by donating whatever you can!
