Launched in 1977, the Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA) supports people living with TSC. This rare genetic disorder causes non-cancerous tumors in various organs, including the brain, skin, kidneys, heart, and lungs with symptoms varying from learning difficulties, seizures, and developmental delays. There is currently no cure, but treatment can manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Foresters members actively participated in the "BIG Give" by submitting video appeals for their chosen charities. Members were asked to explain what their charity means to them and the impact the donation could have. The good work being done by the TSA and our member's deep commitment and enthusiastic support for the organisation, made a powerful impression on the judging panel.

"We at the Tuberous Sclerosis Association are incredibly grateful for this donation from Foresters Financial. This gift will be a tremendous boost to our work in supporting families affected by TSC, funding TSC research, and wider campaigning for access to medicines and therapies. Thanks to the incredible individuals and groups who choose to support us, our work for the TSC community and our aim of an ultimate cure for TSC can continue." – Dr Pooja Takhar and Luke Langlands, Joint Chief Executives, the Tuberous Sclerosis Association.

In addition to the Tuberous Sclerosis Association, the Marjaree Mason Center in the US and You Can Ride 2 in Canada, were also awarded US$50,000 and CA$50,000, respectively.
