[Romantic Old Bird]

Dear Friends,

I don't normally make a habit of forwarding charity e-mails, but this
seemed to be a particularly good cause.

I know it touched me personally.

Mute Tourettes Syndrome has long been in the shadow of its more famous
sister-disease, 'Tourettes Syndrome', and although much rarer, is even more tragic in its consequences.

A child suffering from Tourettes has difficulty in containing its anger, frustration, and foul language.

A child with Mute Tourettes suffers identical torment, but is unable to express their true feelings.

There is, however, an answer. A great deal has been achieved by the Mute Tourettes Foundation using new art therapy techniques. It is truly heartwarming to see these children grow in confidence after successful intervention.

However, their work can only continue with your help. Just £1.37p will keep a
child supplied with crayons for a whole day.
