Sophia and Dylan’s Epic walk for Down Syndrome · 23 March 2025

We provide support for new and expectant parents and families of children/young people with Down syndrome. We host regular meet ups for families to meet other families who understand. We promote positive awareness and provide guidance, help with form filling, and moral support if needed!

Story

Sophia and Dylan are taking on an epic walk in order to raise money for a wonderful charity which is close to our hearts.

It has supported their cousin, Finn, and the whole family in many ways right from when he was born.

Get on Downs provides guidance, support and community for many local families. It has made a huge and significant impact on so many lives and so much hard work is put in to ensure that Finn and others with Downs Syndrome are celebrated and supported to reach their full amazing potential.

Children with Down Syndrome have three chromosomes at position 21, instead of the usual pair - so Sophia has chosen to walk 21km for chromosome 21 and Dylan has chosen to walk 3 laps for the three chromosomes (which is 9km). This is a big distance to walk, even for an adult, but Sophia and Dylan wanted to choose a real challenge which would hopefully gain your support to raise as much money as possible.
