TSC Buddy Initiative

The Story of the TSC Buddy

The TSC Buddy was created from one simple but powerful idea: no one affected by tuberous sclerosis complex should ever feel alone. This reflects the heart of the TSC Alliance’s mission — to improve quality of life for everyone affected by TSC by supporting research, care, and community.

Tuberous sclerosis complex can be overwhelming—full of questions, medical terms, and uncertainty. The TSC Buddy is there in that moment to say, “We see you. We walk with you.”

The Buddy represents comfort, encouragement, and connection—just like the community that the TSC Alliance helps foster. It’s a reminder that the journey with TSC is not a solo path: families, volunteers, clinicians, advocates, and researchers are walking alongside every step.

Curious and compassionate, the TSC Buddy listens to stories, celebrates milestones (big and small), and brings reassurance on tough days. They may not have all the answers, but they know where support can be found and how to bring people together.

Most importantly, the TSC Buddy symbolizes hope—the same hope that fuels the TSC Alliance’s vision of a future where everyone affected by TSC can live their fullest lives.

Wherever the TSC Buddy appears—on a walk, in a photo shared online, at a clinic, or in the hands of someone just starting their journey — it carries one clear message:

You belong. You are supported. You are part of a community that cares.
