NJ Walks for TS Honorary Committee Welcomes Congressman Leonard Lance
The event will take place November 14th to benefit education programs.
Somerville, NJ, November 13, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Congressman Leonard Lance (R-7) continues his support of NJ Walks for TS at Mendham by joining the event’s Honorary Committee. The 6th annual 5K walk/run at Mendham Borough Park is a day of advocacy, awareness, acceptance, and action.
NJ Walks for TS at Mendham benefits the Education Outreach Program of the NJ Center for Tourette Syndrome which educates students and teachers at schools in every corner of New Jersey about TS, anti-bullying and self-advocacy as well as delivering on-site hospital training for doctors. Each member of the Honorary Committee has a history of support for the 1 in 100 children living with Tourette Syndrome (TS)—a neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable movements or sounds known as tics.
Rep. Lance is a longtime champion of NJCTS, beginning with his days in the New Jersey State Senate. He is a co-sponsor of federal legislation for Tourette Syndrome and hosts roundtable discussions with families living with the disorder.
“NJCTS is grateful for Congressman Lance’s continued support of NJ Walks for TS at Mendham,” said NJCTS Executive Director Faith W. Rice. “We hope others will follow his lead and step out in support of the thousands of kids and families living with TS in New Jersey today.”
