Yeah, I've had to get a new t-shirt and everything just dripping with sweat when I got in, so... Yeah, play the smart, get in the back one.

So, yeah, Tourette's is a neurological disorder.

It can affect, obviously, motor as well as vocal.

It can be as very small as, say, like coughing or clearing your throat for, like, vocal sides and bad blinking for motor.

Or it can be, you've probably heard the extremities, as it mostly is in the media, like swearing and...

I don't know if you've seen the film, I Swear, as well.

There's a lot of what a lot of people assume Tourette's is.

There's no cure.

No one knows the exact reason behind it or why it happens.

And that's about it, really.

That's what Tourette's is.

So what I've been looking to do for the past, since I've been diagnosed, is trying to raise awareness.

Because there's not a lot of awareness in Ireland.

There's, let's say, very, very little, in fact.

So there's no support group or anything like that at all, to be fair.

There's more support groups.

So another thing I've recently been diagnosed is telling yourselves with haemochromatosis, which is too much iron in your body, which, again, is a rare genetic disorder.

There's more help for haemochromatosis, which a lot of people have never heard of, than there is Tourette's, which more people have heard of.

Yeah.

So that's what my aim is to sort of help raise awareness for that.
