21 Days of Walking

Story

Being the charity-minded girly that she is, Astrid has decided that she'd like to raise money for Down Syndrome UK during March by doing 21 walks over 21 days, leading up to World Down Syndrome Day on the 21st.

We know money's tight at the moment, but every penny genuinely helps - if we can raise just £21 that would pay for resources for a maternity unit for families who have received a diagnosis, and £50 would pay for a makaton course for a family member of a child with Down Syndrome.

Thank you from all of us, especially Astrid 🫶
