Forth Rail Bridge Abseil · 8 May 2011

Our vision is that society fully accepts and includes people with Ds. We support families and people with Ds to reach their fullest potential by providing a range of services, influencing public policy and by changing attitudes. We urgently need funding to help families who are struggling right now.

Story

<p>UPDATE 11/5. <br>I've done it! Great day was had by all, and new video linked here to let you all see me in action.</p> <p>Thanks to all who have contributed.<br>x</p> <p>Gregor is 7 now. Settled into mainstream school and charging through life, charming everyone he meets. Down's Syndrome Scotland have been a great support throughout the milestones we've passed so far.</p> <p>Its so important that they have funds to continue the great work they do to support families like us, and give people with Down's Syndrome opportunities that we sometimes take for granted.</p> <p>Times are tough for everyone, but if you could spare a few pennies, it would make a big difference!</p> <p>Thanks<br>Christine. x</p> <p>Updated 1/4. Given the current economic climate I really wasn't sure what to set target at, but have&nbsp;been over whelmed by everyone's generosity, and long passed my initial &pound;400 target...I'll be a bit&nbsp;bolder now and go for &pound;1200...another few weeks to go yet, so fingers crossed!!</p> <p>Thanks so much&nbsp;to all who have contributed..x</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
