Birthday: June 7
Meet Benny the Brain a joyful Brain Buddy created to represent and celebrate children with Tourette syndrome.
Benny reminds kids that tics are only one part of who they are and that they never have to hide what makes them unique. He’s here to spark understanding, encourage confidence, and help children feel seen, supported, and proud to be themselves.
Look closely and you’ll find two little stars on Benny a symbol of the “extra sparkles” in his brain and a playful reminder that the things that make our brains different can also make them beautifully unique.
Each Benny is handmade by artisans, which means no two Bennys will ever be exactly alike. You may notice small variations in his shape, stitching, or other details and we think that makes him even more special. After all, no two brains are exactly the same either.
Benny’s birthday is June 7, Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day, a special reminder to celebrate understanding, acceptance, and all the brilliant ways our brains experience the world.
Handmade. One of a kind. Just like every brain.
