EHE International Showcases the National Tourette Syndrome Association Window Display in Rockefeller Center Plaza

NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- EHE International and the national Tourette Syndrome Association, Inc., (TSA) have unveiled a 115-square foot display window in 10 Rockefeller Plaza, created to generate awareness and acceptance of all people living with the much misunderstood neurological disorder, Tourette Syndrome (TS).

"Tourette Syndrome … It's Not What You Think" is the message conveyed while asking the spectators to attempt to understand what it feels like to have Tourette Syndrome—to stop, and not move or make a sound—the impossible task people with Tourette Syndrome simply cannot achieve.  Symptoms of the disorder include sudden, incontrollable, involuntary vocalizations and movements called "tics." There is no known cure and the cause of TS is still unknown.

The window at 10 Rockefeller Plaza at 48^th Street inside the "Today Show" plaza, donated by EHE International, will be on display for the public from August 1 through August 30.

"EHE International is pleased to offer the Tourette Syndrome Association, Inc. the window space for use in their mission to raise awareness about Tourette Syndrome and help reduce the stigma associated with it," said Deborah McKeever, EHE International President.

Annetta Hewko, President of the TSA said, "We are so grateful for this incredible opportunity to reach such a vast number of people on a daily basis. The awareness that will result from this display will undoubtedly create increased acceptance and understanding of Tourette Syndrome and the people who live with it."
