NTF News February 2022

Get ready for National Essential Tremor Awareness month!

This March is National Essential Tremor Awareness month and the National Tremor Foundation is inviting you to get involved!

Throughout March 2022 the National Tremor Foundation (NTF) will again raise awareness of this little known condition called essential tremor (ET).

The National Essential Tremor Awareness (NETA) month will see the NTF hold various online meetings via Zoom with the aim of raising awareness, offering interesting discussions, friendly meetups and talks by speakers on essential tremor.

Thank you!

We would like to thank everyone who has donated to the NTF this month. Your contribution is much appreciated and we really value your support. The NTF relies on donations to ensure it supports people with tremor. As little as the price of a cup of coffee could make the difference to someone's life.
