Bourne House Charity Month Bourne House Charity Month Every House at Glyn has its own charity that it supports all year round. For this stage in the year it is Bourne's turn to support its chosen charity ‘Turner Syndrome Society'. Bourne House are starting their House Charity Month for May. As well as raising money I would really like to raise awareness of the cause we are supporting. We are hoping to raise money for the Turner Syndrome Society. Turner Syndrome is a rare and relatively unknown condition. Two students at Glyn have a sister (Pictured Below) who suffers from the condition. As well as being informative with regards to the condition we will also be raising awareness of how the whole family are affected when there is a member with a disability. •The condition was named after Dr Henry Turner who discovered it in 1938. It is caused by an abnormal sex   chromosome and affects about 1 in every 2,000 baby girls. •Most females are born with two X chromosomes. Turner syndrome occurs when one of the X chromosomes is completely or partially missing. •TS causes girls to be much shorter than the average height and usually causes infertility. •The condition can cause heart, ear, kidney and thyroid problems, as well as bone disorders. •The life expectancy of someone with Turner syndrome is slightly reduced, with some studies suggesting that people with the condition may die around 10 years earlier than those without the condition. •Despite this, most TS patients are able to lead relatively normal, healthy lives. www.tss.org.uk   Read More
