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

We are raising funds to provide training and resources to GP's to ensure best practice and care in the community for people with Down syndrome.

Nick’s story:

As most of you know, we were blessed with the greatest gift of all 3 years ago when Ronnie came into our lives. Many of you have watched our little boy grow up and thrive, surrounded by love from everyone who meets him. Ronnie is a strong-willed, determined, busy, and exceptionally funny and sweet little boy, who just happens to have Down syndrome ☺️ We shout from the rooftops how insanely proud we are of him everyday. This year I’m running the Cardiff half marathon for PADS with other PADS parents / family / friends. It is an honour to raise money for a charity that does such exceptional work and has helped us enormously since Ronnie was born. Ronnie begins school soon and PADS will extend their support to his teachers, so that everyone around him, knows how to help him to be the best that he can be 🌟 We hope Ronnie has inspired you, made you smile, opened your minds to what life is like having Down syndrome - very similar to what life is like without it - full, active, filled with love, and with many smiles and giggles along the way. Please donate what you can and help us to give something back to this amazing charity. As always, thank you 💛🧡💚
