LIFE WITH DOWN SYNDROME
Dedicated to our daughter
We are a British family, raising positive awareness of how great a life with Down Syndrome really is!
We hope to offer reassurance to anyone who has had a recent diagnosis and is wondering what the future may look like. We want to fill in the blanks for anyone who is curious about what family life looks like with additional needs (spoiler alert: still full of love and laughs). We are open to questions and conversations around Down Syndrome, so that the world is a more understanding and accepting place for our beautiful daughter and all others in #theluckyfew club to grow up in.
