Giving Tuesday

 Hello Friends!!

Happy Giving Tuesday!!  Giving Tuesday is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving here in the United States.  It is widely acknowledges as "global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and oragnizations to transform their communities and the world".  

So on this Giving Tuesday I am asking you to give with your heart to the Turner Syndrome Foundation so that they can continue to do the excellent work of providing education of Turner Syndrome and its many medical affects to families and doctors alike.

Giving Tuesday is a day to support girls and women, like my Julie, who live with Turner syndrome.  Every 8 minutes a girl is born.  Your support can help us continue this work in 2024.

Julie and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Hugs,

Lori
