Do you love team sports? Team TSF was formed in 2010 when a mom decided to run the 2010 NJ Half Marathon. Instead of just running it for fun, she decided to build a team of people affected by Turner syndrome and raise funds for the Turner Syndrome Foundation. With a few phone calls to the event staff and many hours of organizing and recruiting, Turner Syndrome Foundation became an official charity. The Turner Syndrome Foundation runs in marathons all across the country. Volunteers signup to run as part of Team TSF. We are looking for coordinators to expand this outreach. Running for Team TSF will help to support girls and women affected by Turner Syndrome.
