Home Video Footage

When discussing ideas for the website Jaylen felt it was important for the visitors to see first hand how Tourettes affects him. This is how severe the disorder can and will get when mocked, laughed at, or anxiety ridden.

On March 4th 2009 Jaylens mother spent some time filming Jaylen. What you are about to see is unedited raw footage taken straight from the video camera. There are two 10 second forwarding on the video to protect Jaylens physicians' names he speaks of. You will see how having Tourettes among other  disorders affects the simple everyday life of Jaylen. This is only 6 minutes of Jaylens time, imagine what it must be like to suffer everyday, all day long?

After watching the video I think you will agree that Jaylen is a remarkable young boy ~ and with your help ~ he can educate other children about the importance of helping those with disabilities, rather than bullying them. Please click the donate button and give as much as you can. Your help is very much appreciated.

 

**Please note that this video is only 6 minutes long...not 63. The 63  was how much time remaining was available on the video recorder.

Jaylen, I have missed visiting your site for the past few months, so I am a little behind in knowing wnhat you have been up to. I did send a letter to Oprah on your behalf. I hope that she schedules an appearance for you before she ends her show. That would sure help you to "get the word out."

Hope you are well and hope that you had a Blessed Easter!

You are amazing Jaylen. Your story was very inspiring to me. It is great that you stand up to bullies like you do. I hope sometime soon they come up with a cure for Tourette Syndrome.

Hey there!! I am 22 years old now but I also grew up with ticks!! I just wanted to say that you are awesome and a fighter! Your mama sounds just like mine with the rubbing, my mama would rub my tummy so that I did not pull muscles and could calm down some! There is nothing for people to do but push through it and live a normal life like you! You are doing great, keep it up!
