Hi UofG! We are the Turner Syndrome Support Society at UofG, a group of students working in aid of the Turner Syndrome Support Society (TSSS) of the UK! The TSSS is a charity whose sole goal is supporting people with Turner Syndrome (TS) and their families. They help families become more informed by raising awareness, creating educational resources, and creating safe spaces for everyone to learn and support one another! TS is a ‘cradle to grave’ condition and as such requires medical treatment throughout life.
We aim to support the efforts of the Turner Syndrome Support Society, providing accurate and up-to-date information on Turner Syndrome and the many aspects of living with the condition on a daily basis. To do this, we will aid the charity in their fundraising efforts, and emulate their aims, which are:
● To aid and support families and women with Turner Syndrome, whether you are the parent of a newly diagnosed daughter with TS, a teenager or adult woman with TS, or pregnant with an in-utero diagnosis that the child you are carrying has TS.
● Raise awareness of Turner Syndrome and debunk any misconceptions surrounding the condition. ● Provide resources to allow those with Turner Syndrome to better advocate for their care.
● Creating a community where we can support one another and share our experiences.
Throughout the year we will be hosting a wide range of fundraising and awareness events, and we cannot wait to see you all there!
