TSFC wants you to experience Tourette Syndrome on Twitter
Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by tics and involuntary vocal and physical outbursts. Tourette Syndrome is a widely misunderstood disorder, and as a result, can be incredibly difficult to live with. To bring attention to this disorder, the Tourette Syndrome Foundation of Canada (TSFC) is launching Surrender Your Say, a Twitter campaign to bring increased awareness to the disorder. Starting June 19th at 9AM EST, The TSFC wants you to experience what it’s like to have Tourette Syndrome by giving up control of your online voice- your Twitter feed. For one day, your Twitter feed will will experience tics, in the form of Tweets. When and what a participant Tweets will be random and out of their control, just like Tourette Syndrome. Every experience on Surrender Your Say mimics a day in the life of real people with the disorder, down to what is said, and the frequency of their tics.
One thing to keep in mind is that you will not be providing their Twitter password, nor will Surrender Your Say have access to your password or other account information. You will also be able to log in and Tweet normally during the 24-hour period. Surrender Your Say Tweets will simply be in addition to your regular stream of Tweets. This is a unique campaign and I encourage you to consider participating. Sign up at www.surrenderyoursay.com. You should also take a look at this promotional video:
