This time last year Astrid and I did 21 days of walks to raise money for Down Syndrome UK for World Downs Syndrome Day. We ended up raising an absolutely astronomical £1100, which is about 10 times more than I'd hoped for. This year, Astrid is kindly paying me back for carrying her for 90% of last year's walks, and has volunteered to do all the walking herself! She's still working on her walking skills, but with the help of her push-along walker, Astrid is aiming to do 321 laps of the house in the 21 days leading up to World Down Syndrome Day on 21/03

We're hoping to raise at least £321 this year, but if you can't donate we completely understand - words of encouragement to shout at Astrid from the comfort of the sofa as she plods around the house will also be accepted (jkjk)

Just £21 pays for resources for a maternity unit for families who have received a diagnosis, so every penny really does help 🩷
