Premieres Monday, September 13, at 9 PM (ET/PT)

In this one-hour special, viewers will meet four children with startlingly different Tourette’s diagnoses: Jonah, a boy who cannot suppress his overwhelming need to get up and run away; Colin, a boy who experiences constant headaches as a results of his tics; Marques, who suffers from the rare strain of Tourette’s that causes patients to shout obscenities uncontrollably; and Jaylen, a remarkable boy who is taking his experiences in school dealing with Tourette’s to a group of kids in an anti-bullying speech. Cameras will follow the lives of parents as they help their children cope with life within a world where you just can’t stop “ticking.”

When people hear the word inspiration you automatically know you are on a positive road and about to be uplifted! One of my earlier articles was about Teens that Inspire, and through that I was introduced to a now 9 year old inspirational young boy, Jaylen Arnold.

Jaylen Arnold, a Florida resident, radiates inspiration and continues to help others as well as educate kids and parents alike about one of our country’s most disturbing growing trends – bullying.

Recently Jaylen took time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions about his crusade and his mission to help millions of children. Don’t forget to watch his PSA at the end of this article.

On Jan. 8-10, 2010, Jaylen and Dash will be participating in the Walt Disney World Marathon in Orlando, Florida to benefit the national Tourette Syndrome Association. We are excited to meet the challenge, especially for such a good cause.

With every step we take, we know we will be helping TSA get “One Lap Closer To A Cure.” But we can’t do it alone. We need your help! Please sponsor us and donate to fund a worldwide cutting edge research program to identify the cause and find a cure for TS – which we both suffer from.

Tourette Syndrome, an inherited neurobiological disorder, is characterized by involuntary sudden movements and vocalizations, known as tics. A common misconception is that those affected curse. In fact, less than 10 percent of those affected have what is known as coprolalia. What causes TS is not yet fully understood, and to date, a cure has not been found. It is estimated that one person out of a hundred has a mild form of the disorder and one in one thousand has a severe case of TS.

In addition to funding research, TSA’s mission is to provide educational programs, awareness activities and services for people living with TS and their families.

You can make a difference . . . please join us in supporting a very important cause. Thank you for your support!
