Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Ava was born in March 2011, with Down Syndrome and a major heart condition.

In June 2011, Ava's heart was repaired and although her heart will need monitoring for life, the operation was successful! 

The ECCDS is an amazing charity, which is like a 2nd family to us.  They specialise in educating children with Down Syndrome, helping them to reach their full potential.  The group have supported us emotionally and provided us the tools we need to help Ava on her journey through life.  All the family are supported they hold Grandparent groups, family swims helping everyone to be aware of Down Syndrome.

Kevan (Ava's Daddy) & Mark (Ava's Grandad) are both petrified of heights, so therefore we volunteered them to do a skydive!!!  Incontinent pants at the ready...............After what Ava has been through, both agreed with shakey voices, they would do it!! Please sponsor them and help this amazing charity continue their brilliant work, as a family we would be lost without them.
