On behalf of the entire staff and network of board members, presenters and volunteers that make the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome & Associated Disorders (NJCTS) what it is, I would like to wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of the contributors and readers who have helped make the Teens4TS blog a rousing success over the first six-plus weeks of its existence.
We already have received several thousands of page hits from all over the world — England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Canada, Denmark, France, Spain and Indonesia, among others — on our posts and comments. That might not sound like a lot in the grand scheme of things, but for a fairly new blog by an organization our size, it is a tremendous — even positively overwhelming! — response.
In the next few weeks and months, we expect the blog to continue to grow — especially after receiving several submissions from teen authors who already have successful blogs of their own. Be sure to check out our links section and give them a shout-out on their pages!
We would love to double our already sizable contributor list, and all we need to bring that to fruition is to hear from you, the teens! So if you are interested in participating in the Teens4TS blog, please drop us a note today by e-mailing teens@njcts.org.
There’s nothing quite like being part of a community that is doing something big to help others, especially those in the Tourette Syndrome community — for which there just aren’t that many resources outside of the magnificent ones NJCTS provides.
So what are you waiting for? Open up your e-mail browser and drop us a line. We would love to hear from you. And after that, go join your family, open some presents, reflect on what this season means to you and get ready for an even better 2012!
Happy Holidays!
