Rays Up for Turner Syndrome Auction (7/14-7/28)

After an abnormal ultrasound and weeks of waiting for test results, we were told that our daughter, Ellis, likely had Turner syndrome at 9 weeks gestation. Ellis was with us for a total of 19 weeks and six days gestation. Those weeks were extremely difficult. The unknown of the diagnosis, difficulty receiving care, and the odds that were repeated to us every appointment made it difficult to see the light. Despite the darkness at times, we cherish those weeks because Ellis met milestones we were told she wouldn’t, and she taught us the importance of life and being present. Ellis was a fighter. Throughout this journey of diagnosis and loss, Peter and I have learned that there is a gap in the system. Reaching out to the Turner Syndrome Foundation taught us that there are many others experiencing the same battles. We are motivated to help the Turner Syndrome Foundation bridge the gap between diagnosis and care. This season, we vow to honor Ellis and other families who have experienced loss. We vow to Rays Up for those who beat the odds and raise awareness for Turner Syndrome and the resources that are out there.

This season, we will participate in two initiatives to raise awareness and support for the Turner Syndrome community: Strikeouts for Ellis and the Rays Up for Turner Syndrome online auction. We appreciate all the support in advance. Peter and I know we are not alone, and we want others to know they are not alone, either.

We can make a difference!
With Love, Peter and Lydia Fairbanks

What Makes TSF Different?

Free Resources. Personalized Support. Dedication to Research & Education.

Our philosophy of keeping life-changing resources free and accessible to patients is a key component of what sets us apart. We do not require membership dues or fees to access our resources. Everything on our website is completely free to everyone, so you can find what you need exactly when you need it.

In fact, most of our events, such as our patient education workshops, are free to attend. These workshops feature presentations by experienced medical professionals and are 100% donation-run. In addition to our online resources, we provide personalized one-on-one support to every individual who calls or emails our office every day. We are proud to offer this level of support to the most vulnerable members of our community.

However, these elements only begin to scratch the surface of what makes us unique. While we understand and appreciate the importance of community events and fundraisers, we also know how much more impactful research and education initiatives will be in the long term. Our mission to “support research initiatives and facilitate education programs that increase professional awareness and enhance medical care” means we partner with medical professionals, industry leaders, and more to form councils, publish guidelines, and support research.

The medical community's strong support demonstrates a commitment to research and education. TSF is regarded in the medical community as a leading resource for Turner Syndrome. Professionals often refer their patients to TSF because of our many enriching resources. Many medical professionals have even chosen to support us by joining the TSF Professional Membership, an initiative to help deliver support to the patients who need it most.

With all of this in mind, turn to the Turner Syndrome FOUNDATION. A strong foundation of free support, education, and research builds a future of hope, awareness, and care.
