OUR STORY

In 1988, a neurologist and pioneer in the field of movement disorders zeroed in on tremor conditions.

Dr. William Koller, at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas, ran clinical trials and took a particular interest in essential tremor (ET), but also other types of tremor including orthostatic tremor, tremor from multiple sclerosis, tremor resulting from brain trauma, etc. His devotion to the field led to the establishment of the International Tremor Foundation (ITF) in 1988.

Based in Chicago, the organization focused on all types of tremor and shared an office with the United Parkinson Foundation. Formal documents of incorporation for the foundation were filed in 1992.

In 1997, the merger of the United Parkinson Foun-dation with the Parkinson Disease Foundation (in New York) prompted the ITF to relocate. Executive Director Catherine Rice moved the foundation to the Overland Park, KS region of Kansas City. This new location positioned them closer to their founder, Dr. Koller.

As the organization grew, so did its need to focus in on one area of tremor. Over a 10-year period, other organizations had been formed to focus on tremors associated with other diseases and conditions. This, combined with Dr. Koller’s investment in essential tremor, led to a more refined focus and a name change for the organization in 2001 – the International Essential Tremor Foundation (IETF).

Throughout its history, the IETF has continued to expand its reach and raise awareness and support for essential tremor across the globe.

It is estimated that essential tremor affects more than 10 million people in the U.S. alone, and that number continues to increase. The need for an organization that raises awareness to and advocates for people with ET has never been more critical.

Today, the IETF is the leading organization in the world dedicated to those affected by ET.

MISSIONThe International Essential Tremor Foundation provides hope to the essential tremor (ET) community worldwide through awareness, education, support and research.

Awareness. We promote greater ET awareness and educate at every level— from healthcare providers to caregivers to the general public.

Education. We empower individuals to regain control of their lives, by providing education-al information, treatment options and coping skills.

Support. Our network of support groups across the globe provides inspiration and fellowship among those living with ET.

Research. We fund scientific research to iden-tify more effective treatments and to discover a cure for ET.

Essential tremor is a neurological condition thatcauses a rhythmic shaking of the hands, head, voice

and/or torso, making everyday activities such as drinking, eating and writing difficult, if not impossible.

There is no known cure.

“Essential,” in medical terms, refers to “a symptom that is isolated and does not have a specific underlying cause.”

OUR TEAM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT

The IETF is the leading essential tremor (ET) organization in the world, working to advocate for people with ET through education and awareness of the condition. We promote learning through educational programs and activities. We connect people together through support groups and connect ourselves to organizations to help advocate for our cause. Through research, we are working to discover new methods of treatment and providing hope to people with ET. This would not be possible without the help of many people.

First, I would like to thank our loyal donors, support group leaders, and corporate partners for their support and generosi-ty. This fiscal year the IETF raised over $1 million dollars for the second year in a row. As the number of patients diagnosed with ET continues to increase, your support becomes even more important. We cannot do what we do, including raising awareness, providing educational materials and events, scholarships to students affected by ET, and awarding more than $800,000 in research grants without your donations of time, talent, and treasure.

I also want to thank our staff, Dawanna Fangohr and Tammy Dodderidge. They do a great job on a variety of projects in-volving our finances, support groups, database management, and our marketing and communications. Their hard work and dedication allow us to further our mission to provide hope to the ET community worldwide through awareness, education, support, and research. The next time you call, e-mail, or write please thank them for all they do for the IETF and the ET community.

And of course I want to thank our Board of Directors and Medical Advisory Board who are committed to the mission of the IETF and guarantee we meet our financial and research commitments along with the ethical and moral responsibilities for everyone with essential tremor.

The IETF continues to try to improve the way we deliver our messages. This year we hosted two teleconferences on a variety of topics (see page 8). If you missed one of the teleconferences recordings of each call are posted on our website on the “Education Programs” page. We also continue to host region-al ET Education Forums. During our 2018-19 budget year, we visited Minneapolis, MN; Dallas,TX; Tampa, FL; and San Diego, CA. We have future events scheduled in St. Louis, MO, and Kansas City, MO. We hope you can attend one of these events when we come to your town.

To improve our mar-keting and communica-tions efforts, the IETF has increased its social media efforts focusing on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. We also share stories on our Tremor Talk blog. If you are on social media please follow the IETF and share our posts. This is an easy way for you to

help us increase awareness and educate people on ET and the resources the IETF provides to patients, doctors, and anyone interested in learning more about ET.

We continue to strengthen our current partnerships and build new ones with a variety of companies, associations, and other non-profits who focus their efforts on promoting ET edu-cation and awareness. Several of our partners are continuing their efforts to explore new treatment options or improving existing treatments. Working together we can combine our efforts for a unified voice for the ET community.

So as we start the new fiscal year we continue our commit-ment to work for you on raising ET awareness, providing the most up-to-date information through Tremor Gram, Tremor Talk, and our social media channels, and funding research to find the cause and hopefully someday a cure for ET.

Thank you again for your support of the IETF. Feel free to contact our office if you need materials to share via personal meetings, phone calls, or social media. You are our best advocates, and we hope you continue to spread the word about essential tremor and the IETF.

Sincerely,

Patrick McCartney, Executive Director

OUR AWARENESS INITIATIVES

Raising awareness to essential tremor and connecting with the essential tremor community are part of the daily work of the International Essential Tremor Foundation. We’ve highlighted some of our top awareness initiatives for 2018-19.

The IETF partnered with The Villages, Florida, one of the largest retirement communities in the United States, to raise awareness about essential tremor. Through a series of advertisements in The Villages Newspaper, the IETF defined essential tremor, provided information about the mission of the IETF and offered free ET information packets. More than 350 residents responded.

(At right) Wonderful things happened with 16-year-old Mark Lowell decided to raise money for the International Essential Tremor Foundation during Na-tional Essential Tremor Awareness Month. He raised more than $1,400, and also raised awareness about the condition. Most importantly, he felt under-stood. (He is shown here with his principal and assistant principal.)

“For a lot of my life this has been something that I have had to face by myself. And this entire experience has made me feel like I’m not alone.”

National Essential Tremor Awareness Month

In March, we asked people around the world to help us “Shine a Light on Essential Tremor” during National Essential Tremor Awareness (NETA) Month. From sharing posts on social media to hosting individual fund raisers, the essential tremor com-munity once again stepped up to take part in this annual awareness effort. Here are some of our results:

• Reached 83,576 people through Facebook • Earned more than 48,000 impressions on

Twitter• Achieved 59,078 pageviews on the IETF

website• Raised $43,583 in donations• Distributed 268 NETA Posters• Gained 446 new page followers on Facebook• Accepted 238 new people into the ET Awareness Group on

Facebook (a closed online support group)

(At left) Donors who gave $30 or more received this NETA Month t-shirt. Donors giving at least $50 received both the t-shirt and tote bag.

OUR DEDICATION TO RESEARCH OUR FINANCIALS

Research is the key to finding the cause of essential tremor. Advancing knowledge about its cause can lead to promising new treatments, therapeutic interventions and even a cure someday.

Supporting research is part of the mission of the IETF. Here are some of our research initiatives:Research Grants. Each year, the IETF requests grant proposals from the scientific community to further our understanding of essential tremor. We seek proposals that address the nosology, etiology, patho-genesis or treatment of essential tremor or other topics relevant to essential tremor.

Research Advocacy. Advocacy is the empowering arm of research. Planting seeds with scientists/researchers, technology groups and others who have the expertise and connections needed to conduct essential tremor research is key.

Clinical Trials Recruitment. Testing the safety and effectiveness of medications and devices is critical to their approval. That’s why clinical trials are important. The IETF regularly promotes the essential tremor research studies looking for participants.

Brain Bank. The IETF continues its recruitment for brain tissue for several Brain Banks throughout the United States. These research banks study the post-mortem brains of people with essential tremor.

“New and ongoing research for ET gives hope to us young people. Even though our con-ditions may worsen over time, there are also so many ways modern medicine can help us live our lives normally and we all need to work toward that goal together.”

—Deirdre, IETF College Scholarship Recipient

Since 2001, the IETF has contributed more than

$800,000 to essential tremor research

Shirley Silver was nine years old when she began to shake, but she wasn’t formally diagnosed with essential tremor until she was an adult. She felt self-conscious, nervous and even ashamed of her shaking.

As an adult, she got involved in an International Essential Trem-or Foundation (IETF) Support Group and it changed her life.

“My knowledge, my confidence – everything – was boosted by this group. It was wonderful. It took me all that time to say ‘I’m not the only one,’” she recalled.

Shirley shared her story with the IETF in 2018 at the age of 91. She passed away a short time later. We applaud her brav-ery and share her life lessons to help others.

A Life-Changing Experience

Support in Your AreaEssential Tremor (ET) Support Groups are informal self-help groups run by and for people with ET, under the umbrella of the IETF. They are places to talk openly about the challenges of living with ET, share ideas and feel connected.
