About the Take a Step for TS Virtual Walk/Run

The Turner Syndrome Foundation’s “Take a Step for TS” Virtual Walk/Run is from November 1^st through the 8^th.

As a participant, you will be able to set a goal for walking/running for the week. You can also participate in fun social media challenges and have access to graphics and flyers to share. This way, we are all able to raise awareness of Turner Syndrome!

Another fun part of the event is setting up your online fundraising page. You can ask friends and family to sponsor you and see how much other participants have raised as well. All funds donated to TSF support our programs that include patient resources and advancing research.

There will also be fun prizes for our top runner/walker and fundraiser! Sign-up today and ask others to participate as well!
