Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Jasper and I will be taking part in a 5km Park Run this weekend to raise money for Down Syndrome Cheshire (DSC). This will be the first time Jasper has done this and it’s going to be a real challenge for him! Like a lot of people with DS, Jasper has hypotonia (low muscle tone) which means it’s taken him longer to reach his motor development milestones. He experiences muscle weakness and has low core stability and therefore fatigues easily. It’s highly unlikely that he will be able to run the whole way but, with determination and encouragement, he will hopefully complete the whole circuit.

DSC have been a huge support to our family in lots of ways over the last nearly 12 years. Jasper currently gets opportunities like weekly yoga and football sessions for example which support his physical development. Down Syndrome Cheshire do NOT get ANY government funding and rely on grants and public donations. This is our way of giving back to the charity and we will be extremely grateful for any pennies (or even better, pounds!) you can spare!
