Please consider giving to the Mute Torette's Syndrome Charity

I recieved the email from Pete Salt [Casualty's nursing advisor and the real life Charlie Fairhead]:

Please consider giving to the Mute Torette's Syndrome Charity
Event on August 30th......

On 30th August I am taking part in a charity bike ride to raise funds for Mute Tourette's syndrome. A friend of mine has a 7 year old son who suffers with this condition and we are raising funds to pay for a year's therapy.

Mute Tourette's Syndrome has long been in the shadow of its more famous sister-disease, Tourette's Syndrome, and although much rarer, Mute Tourette's is even more tragic in its consequences.

Whilst a child suffering from Tourette's has difficulty in containing their anger and frustration, a child with Mute Tourette's suffers a worse fate; they are unable to express their true feelings. There is, however, an answer. A great deal has been achieved by the Mute Tourette's Foundation using new art therapy techniques.

Their work however, can only continue with our help. Just £ 2.50 will keep a child supplied with crayons for a whole month. £10.00 will provide them with enough paper for a year.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who feels able to help such a deserving cause. Many thanks in advance.

Below is a picture to demonstrate how the donations received so far have been put to good use:
