The Mynderse Boys Varsity Lacrosse team will be sponsoring a "TM awareness" game on Tuesday May 15th, at 5:00 pm against Bath. The boys hope to bring awareness to TM and raise money to support the TM Foundation.

Mynderse senior attackman Casey Irland, was diagnosed with TM in January 2011. TM is a rare neurological disorder that involves inflammation of the spinal cord effecting only 1400 people a year. There is no cure for TM but there are medications that can help with some of the symptoms: muscle weakness, paralysis, uncomfortable nerve sensations, neuropathic pain & fatigue.
"Hope", "Strength" & "Determination" are the words Casey lives by.

Information about the benefit game is available here. Information about Transverse Myelitis is also available.
