DSF Mission

The Diann Shaddox Foundation for Essential Tremor is dedicated to finding a cure for ET, educate, and increase awareness about people afflicted with Essential Tremors. DSF is a National Non-Profit public organization 501 c(3) and is adamant to advance treatments that can slow, stop, or reverse the progression of Essential Tremors.

Essential Tremors (ET) is a progressive neurological condition that causes a rhythmic trembling of the hands, head, voice, legs, or body. Over 42 million people worldwide including children have ET, the largest movement disorder in the world. DSF works with people worldwide to show that ET is an international progressive disorder. We are unwavering to assist families with our Programs to find a cause and cure. ET can begin at any age, from birth to 100 and doesn’t discriminate with age, race, sex, or national origin.
