Down Syndrome and the support and awareness families receive, wasn’t been something I had really thought about until recent years. This changed when a nephew was born and diagnosed with Down syndrome after birth and made us as a family more aware of it. As a result I’d love to be able to give back in some way and as I’m able to I’m running this half marathon to support them. 

Being able to try and raise a little bit of money to help such a worthwhile cause is extremely rewarding. For so many families it can often feel like there is very little support is out there unless they know where to look, so please help me to raise as much money as possible for such a worthy cause and improve that support for so many.

Down Syndrome UK is a national charity passionate about empowering parents and professionals to improve the lives of those with Down syndrome.
