So sorry to hear the news that a member of the Ring20UK community has passed away. Uncontrolled #epilepsy represents a major challenge for the #RareDisease community - more needs to be done! #EpilepsyAwareness #PatientSafety

We welcome BBC Health News discussing cannabidiol-based medicine but it must be clearer that licensed tested medicine like Epidyolex for TSC-related epilepsy is very different to cannabis alone. Epidyolex is an important medicine option in TSC-related epilepsy. bbc.co.uk/news/health-66…

Thanks to you we've smashed our Big Give Christmas Challenge 2023 target! We aimed to raise £8,700, but surpassed this to almost £10,500! Wow! 😮 This means the TSA Support Fund will continue next year. Giving those in the TSC community at financial crisis much needed support.
