Dr. Lederman and his family ran in the Mendham Walks TS 5k on Saturday November 19, 2011. As many of you know, his nephew, Ethan, has Tourette's Syndrome. It affects his family and so many others in ways that go far beyond just "tics". He was proud to participate in the Mendham Walk in an effort to raise money toward TS research and the coutless services and support offered by the New Jersey Council for TS. Your support will make a difference in the lives of children and families with Tourette Syndrome in New Jersey and beyond. According to the CDC, as many as 1 in 100 people show symptoms of this misunderstood neurological disorder. Proceeds from "Mendham Walks for TS" will go toward the programs and services of the NJ Center for Tourette Syndrome- a 501 c(3) dedicated to supporting the needs of families with TS, to advocate for individuals with TS and to educate the public and professionals on TS.
