We urgently need funding to help families who are struggling right now.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As most of you are aware I was blessed with a younger sister with Down's Syndrome.  When she was first born I had no idea what it meant to be living with a Down's baby.  Some of us found it difficult to deal with Rosalind at the start, however this changed when we were put in touch with our local Down's Syndrome Association.  The advice and support they gave, helped us alot.

With this help and support Rosalind is going to a mainstream school and has been improving her Skiing to the point that she may be representing Ireland in the Special Olympics.

I want to raise money, by running the Edinburgh Marathon, so that other families can rely on the advice and support my family got.  Without your generous donations families with Down's children could be left with no were to turn for that needed help.

So put your hands in your pockets, take out your debit/credit card and donate as much as you can.

Many Many thanks for looking at this page and thank you for your donation*.
