Hallo Billy Buuz. Mummy is raising funds for Down's Syndrome Scotland in memory of you. Your Daddy is so supportive and we are going for it. This is the challenge page Mummy just set up:
As
parents we want to help other families and be more involved, but the
truth is when I see children and adults with Down's syndrome I feel
teary and miss our baby. It's still very close to our heart.
This
challenge gives us the opportunity to help children and adults with
Down's syndrome by doing something in memory of our much missed baby boy
Billy.
On the 6th to the
8th September I'm trying to raise funds for Down’s syndrome Scotland by
completing the ‘Big Small Isles Challenge’.
THE CHALLENGE:
The
Small Isles consist of the islands of Rum, Eigg, Muck and Canna. On this
charity challenge event, I must visit all four of the Small Isles and
climb to the highest point on each one. The itinerary provides the
physical challenge of climbing 4 mountains over 2 days (ranging from
137m - 812m high), with the excitement of high speed RIB transfers
between the islands. (It will be a challenge - I get sea sickness and I
can't swim!)
THE CHARITY:
Down’s Syndrome
Scotland provides services, support and information to people with
Down’s syndrome, their families and professionals. They work to help
people with Down’s syndrome reach their full potential. The charity’s
Family Support Service provides home visits to families; training to
teachers, coaches and carers; and support and information via telephone,
e-mail and social media. Their Down’s syndrome Sports initiative
provides dance, football, gymnastics, karate, swimming and tennis to
children and adults with Down’s syndrome. They also provide a Parent
Contact Service, which provides parent mentors to families needing
information and support on various issues from schooling to independent
living.
Every year Down’s
syndrome Scotland has to raise 74 per cent of their income from the
public in order to continue to provide support, information and services
to families of a person with Down’s syndrome. With your help you can
continue the important work of this worthy charity. For every £50 you
raise, it allows the charity’s Family Support Service to visit a family
at their home to provide them with much-needed support, information and
services.
So please sponsor me and with your help we can make such a difference to adults and children with Down’s syndrome.
Thank you,
Uuganaa
