    I used to work in the same place as John, sound guy.

    He has done so much to raise awarness of tourettes.

    This is the link for the Tourette Scotland website: http://www.tourettescotland.org/

    This is the link for the Just Giving page: http://www.justgiving.com/tweedcanoetrip


    You know what the funny thing was? Although at teh start I was really aware of Johns ticks, after working in the same environment as him for a couple of weeks you never really noticed. John would have a tic but you never really paid much attention.

    Hats off to John and the others, best of luck with the canoe trip!
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    Best of luck with this - my son too has mild tourettes so this is a cause close to my heart. I have subscribed to the thread to remind myself to sponsor your husband next week once our bank account starts feeling a bit healthier :D:D
