Step Forward to Cure TSC® is the TS Alliance's largest national fundraising event, organized by local volunteers and families who are affected by tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in more than 30 communities across the United States. This successful grassroots fundraising effort not only generates vital funds for TSC research but also raises awareness about TSC and the need for increased research funding to combat this complex disorder.
We've Come Far Together.
We'll Go Even Farther With You.
Make a difference today by joining our Step Forward to Cure TSC movement in your local community and by going to a LIDS store near you and getting the TS Alliance logo embroidered on your own personal baseball hat. Click here for more information.
