Lagoon Valley Trail Run Support the Jack and Julia TSC Clinic
Date:	Saturday September 19, 2009
Time:	9 AM (same day registration at 8 AM)
Location:	Lagoon Valley Regional Park
Address:	4600 Pena Adobe Rd. Vacaville, CA 95688 (map)

Our goal is to raise awareness and funds for the TSC Clinic and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a genetic disorder. TSC affects 1 in 6,000 and causes tumor growth in major organs and associated medical complications, from mild to severe. It is a leading genetic cause of epilepsy and autism. TSC can cause mental retardation, developmental and behavioral disorders, and a multitude of associated medical conditions. There is no cure. Research is making progress, and can be applied to all the medical conditions associated with TSC.

The Jack and Julia TSC Clinic at Oakland Children’s Hospital understands that the medical and development concerns of individuals with TSC are unique and therefore require specialized care. We walk for them!

Registration for the run is through active.com. Register for this event.
