Story

She is the absolute light of my life and I wouldn’t have have any other way. I will advocate her worth with my every breath, that’s why I’m running for my daughter Isla and helping to raise funds for training and awareness. Isla is 5 and attends mainstream school. She is able to learn with her peers and access the same activities with the help of a teaching assistant . DSUK is a charity than can help to provide things such as Makaton training which Isla uses to help her communicate more effectively and also information for parents and care givers, Teachers and Employers and empowers people who have Down Syndrome and their families. The money raised could go towards a positivity pack for new parents or important resources for school or work or even toward a specialist therapist. I feel very lucky to be a part of DSUK where their input really helped me through a tough time while Isla was in Special Care. Their resources and knowledge are fantastic and the personal support they provide is invaluable. I hope one day to be running with Isla but until she’s old enough to run herself and start showing what she’s capable of achieving I will continue to do it for her shouting her worth and that of the whole Down Syndrome community ♥️

Please help me to raise funds by pledging a donation to this amazing charity ⭐️
