We offer support and services to children with Down's syndrome

Story

Please join me in raising funds for an amazing charity that make a huge difference to many families, including mine. 

Their work helps children with Downs Syndrome like mine to overcome some of the difficulties associated with the condition. They supported us through some tricky times with Ethan, my smallest boy, and continue to do so. They do it for love, but need a bit of help.

Their classes, advice and support are helping Ethan to slowly emerge from a world of surgery and limitations to one where he can learn to talk, play and communicate. It’s amazing to see.

Like so many families supporting non-typical everyday needs, it is tough: but having the freely-given kindnesses and practical support from 21&Co – and their network of families like ours – makes such a difference. So if you can, please do help me repay a little of the kindness and support that we’ve been fortunate to receive.

…and if you’re near Brighton on Sunday 15th April come by and cheer my creaky old legs over the line – you might even get a high five from Ethan, too!
