A message to our supporters, volunteers, support groups and friends,
As we start a new year, 2018 was a very busy and productive year, and I want to personally thank you for helping the Diann Shaddox Foundation for Essential Tremor continue its mission to bring awareness and find a cure for Essential Tremor. We will make Essential Tremor a household name that everyone understands.
Our Family Assistance Program became our leading program this year and we are proud to have helped as many families as we could. We look forward to assisting others in 2019.
In 2018 DSF established an Educational Initiative to identify children in our schools that may have Essential Tremor, how to work with them and to assist the parents in the proper medical help. Recent research indicates that 5 out of every 100 children under the age of 20 has Essential Tremor. That number is staggering, and represents a significant increase in the incidence of ET in children from even ten years ago.
It is my pleasure to announce that Doctor Darlene A. Mayo MD FAANS, Neurosurgeon and expert in the field of Essential Tremor has joined DSF. Dr. Mayo is currently formatting a training DVD for schools and DSF will be launching a pilot program in South Carolina and Florida. We hope to have this nationally before the end of 2019. Dr. Mayo has also agreed to assist DSF with Medical Research to develop new medications and determine a cause and find a cure.
DSF is proud to be a platinum level organization with Guide Star, a nationally recognized rating service for non-profits.
DSF’s continues to grow at a very rapid pace. We are diligent to maintain that growth in the right direction while keeping a watchful eye on all of our programs. This cannot be accomplished without your help. DSF relies solely on donations and funds we receive from our fundraising efforts. I want to give a BIG thank you to those of you that donated your FACEBOOK birthdays to us this year. Everyone was successful in raising money for DSF. Thank you! Let’s keep that ball rolling in 2019!
DSF also wants to thank all of those who donated directly to our programs. God Bless and thank you!
You may also join us on our Essential Tremor Worldwide Facebook Support Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/228566427550821/ and our Facebook DSF Like Page https://www.facebook.com/diannshaddoxfoundation/
DSF is looking forward to another great year in 2019. You can continue to email me at dsfoundation@atlanticbb.net anytime with ideas. To keep up with what is happening with DSF Programs please go to; www.diannshaddoxfoundation.org .
Wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous 2019! By working together we will succeed in finding a cure for Essential Tremor!
Warm Regards,
