Fundraising for Down's Syndrome Scotland
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
When I first heard that my nephew Andrew was going to be born with Down’s Syndrome, my heart dropped and I was overwhelmed with fear of the unknown, not for Andrew, but for my brother, his fiancé and their family unit.
Thankfully it’s all worked out great- Andrew is thriving!
With Down’s Syndrome Scotland’s continued support and reassurance since first diagnosis, it became apparent that there was so much hope and positivity looking forward to counterbalance the challenges that lay ahead.
I am so proud of my family and over the moon that Andrew is doing so well. He is a complete joy and has a smile that lights up any room as well as a cheekiness inherited by one of his parents 🤔
I’m aware that so many people don’t really understand Down’s Syndrome and how to support families…….so this year instead of Christmas gifts/cards I am asking for sponsorship donations for Down Syndrome Scotland 🙏. In return I will run 63 miles in January - 63representing the 3 copies of their 21st chromosome that these special people hold. If I can raise £470 I agree to also spin/cycle 47-100 miles before the end of February!!
MY PLEA: so I come cap in hand to all my friends and family to help raise money and indeed awareness for this charity close to my heart.
If you would like to join me and take on the 63mile challenge to raise money - do cut and paste the information and set up or own page or even just join me if you can. X
Thank you so much in advance x
