My personal message:

Thank you for visiting! Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.

On behalf of the thousands of children suffering from Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) in the U.S., please help our tenatious group of parents who have overcome tremendous odds to raise research funding to find a cure for this horrific disorder.  By doing so, please know that you are also helping to find a cure for many causes of cancer, autism and epilepsy because Tuberous Sclerosis has been found to be the "linchpin" disorder that can unlock the mysteries of many other maladies.

Bao, now 5 yrs old, spent the first two years of life practically comatose with seizures.  Following 4 brain surgeries before his second birthday, he is doing much better now.  But he still has seizures regularly and requires intensive therapies to deal with developmental delays and autistic traits.  He also cannot yet chew food, is at risk for failure to thrive and receives intensive feeding therapy.  Despite all this, he is a happy engaging child that we are very proud of for his bright, teasing personality and his ability to melt hearts!

Many thanks for your support -- and please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Ron and Ann Heffron
