Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

❤️ update ❤️ thanks so much for all the support and extra donations since Thursday 12th March when Theo was featured on Granada Reports. Theo restarted his challenge 135 days after his 4th open heart surgery and picked his 19th bag of litter on Friday 13th March with Andrew Cooper Labour MP for MidCheshire, his 20th bag with Cllr Julie Macdonald Northwich Town Mayor on Saturday 14th March and will complete his 21 bag challenge on World Downs Syndrome Day on 21/3/26 at the DS hub on Denton Drive in Northwich. Please come along to show your support 🙏🏻❤️

Our family has been supported by DS Cheshire for nearly all of Theo’s life. His week is filled with activities run by them DS Dance, DS Drama and DS 18 + activities. We are really grateful for all the opportunities the charity gives Theo to grow, make friends and have fun. The team there truly make a difference to all of us. So we were shocked and saddened to hear that the charity could have to close its hub if £40,000 isn’t raised by next summer. So we thought of what we could do for our little bit to contribute and fundraise.

Theo and I have a real “pet hate” for litter and both enjoy making a difference by collecting litter if we are out on a walk or in a park. Theo has also been litter picking, with his teacher, round Chester for a few years as part of his Duke of Edinburgh tasks.

So we thought for Downs Syndrome Awareness month we would ask our friends and family to sponsor Theo to collect 21 bags of rubbish over the month of October. We have started a bit early (today 28/9/25…such a lovely day to be out! ) hence the photos. Thanks in advance for helping Theo to make local environments look better whilst raising money to ensure that the future of DS Cheshire looks better too. 🙏🏻🥰
