Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Jordan Desert Trek · 19 April 2013

The Charity provides support for families in the Bristol area who have children with Downs Syndrome. This includes assisting new parents and helping them to understand that the arrival of a child with Downs Syndrome is not the end of the world. A range of events and outings are organised throughout the year including a subsidised annual holiday and a very popular annual Christmas party.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking up the challenge of a 5 day desert trek through the Jordan Desert approx 17kms per day to raise money for The Bristol Downs Syndrome Trust. My reason for choosing this charity is that on 23rd June 2012 my beautiful first grandson Riley Stephen James Nolan was born with Downs Syndrome he was a birth diagnosis and took us all by surprise after shedding many tears I decided that I would like to give something back to the charity which is helping Riley and our family. Like the majority of us, untill Riley touched our lives my knowledge of Downs Syndrome was minimal. To raise awareness and provide support for the children and their families I will be pushing my endurance levels to raise money for this good cause.
