We have a new wonderful logo. We hope it represents the many elements of TSC for people in Ireland and around the world.
Recent fundraiser
In May, Emma Sheehan and four of her good friends completed a skydive for TSC Ireland and raised over €10,000. Emma is mom to Daragh (age 6) and Eabha (age10). Eabha has TSC and Emma is her main care giver.
“What an incredible experience, terrifying and exhilarating. I’m grateful to Eabha as without her to inspire me as she faces her daily challenges with TSC I would never have able to take this on!”
Emma is also a recently appointed Secretary for TSC Ireland. Emma thank you so much for your fundraiser.
