Aidan Wallsmith, 8, of rural Baldwin City, has Tourette Syndrome and he's decided to ask for money to help find a cure for the neurological disorder in lieu of presents for his birthday which is Saturday, Aug. 11. He also wants to have a "Trek for Tourette" walk this fall from Baldwin City to Lawrence to raise awareness about the disorder and even more money for the cause.
