INSPIRATION
MINISTRIES
Inspiration Ministries is a Christian community for people with
disabilities where lives are impacted through living, working, and
camping. There are three different styles of living (assisted
living, community living rooms, and independent apartments), a
sheltered workshop and a year-round retreat center that specializes
in programs for people with disabilities, all on a 155-acre campus
near Geneva Lake.
TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS
COMPLEX
TSC is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form in various
organs, primarily the brain, eyes, heart, skin, kidneys, liver and
lungs. People with TSC often develop epilepsy, autism and learning
and behavioral problems. In fact, TSC is the leading known genetic
cause of epilepsy, and second leading known genetic cause of autism.
TSC affects some people severely, while others are so mildly
affected that it often goes undiagnosed. At least two children born
each day will have TSC (approximately 1 out of 6,000 live births).
TSC knows no racial, cultural or economic barriers. There is no
cure.
