I’m raising money for World Down Syndrome Day and the Cotswold Down Syndrome Group because this cause is incredibly close to my heart. I’m a dad to a young boy with Down syndrome (Angelo), and since his diagnosis our family has been on a journey filled with love, learning, and moments we’ll never forget — but also times where we’ve needed support, reassurance, and people who truly understand.

The Cotswold Down Syndrome Group has been there for us from the beginning. They’ve offered practical advice, a sense of belonging, and the kind of community that makes a huge difference when you’re navigating something new. It’s hard to explain how much it helps to meet other families who “get it”, and to be reminded that you’re not alone.

The work they do supports children and families across our area through meet-ups, events, resources, and ongoing support. The money raised through this challenge will help them continue providing that vital support — so that more families can access the same encouragement, connection, and opportunities that we’ve been lucky enough to experience.

Thank you for supporting this challenge, whether through donating, sharing, or simply cheering us on. Every contribution helps us make a real difference.
