Harry's Odd Socks

Vicky Mellor is raising money for Down's Syndrome Association

Team: Remembering Harry Parker

In memory of Harry Parker
We support people with Down’s syndrome to live full and rewarding lives.

Story

Well, it's World Down's Syndrome Day on Thursday 21st March 2013, and we thought it would be a great idea to join in and celebrate and wear lots of socks, well, actually odd socks as that's easier than lots of socks... my typing is bad enought without trying it with socks on my hands... and driving would just be dangerous... anyway we thought maybe people would like to join us in wearing odd socks and donate 50p, or whatever you can afford, to the Down Syndrome Association.

This week is Down's Syndrome Awareness Week, and this year the theme is a focus on vision in people with Down's Syndrome "Think Big, Think Bold". There's some great information about this here:

So dig through your sock drawer for some Big and Bold socks, and dig into your pockets to help us celebrate Down's Syndrome day :-)
