Jaylen Arnold is a young boy who has Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes motor and vocal tics. Because of his illness he endured countless badgering and bullying at school which would have led many students to withdraw or allow those negative comments to get him down. Instead, Arnold decided to start a campaign called Jaylen's Challenge to stop school bullying. Through the Jaylen’s Challenge website he sells anti-bullying wristbands and accepts donations for his cause. The proceeds from the wristbands go toward educational materials and programs for schools to raise awareness about bullying. Despite his illness, Arnold continues to writes blogs on a regular basis about his life and progress in changing the mindset of others through Jaylen's Challenge. His efforts have inspired both students and school staff around the country to take a stand against school bullying.
