World DS day

Today is World Downs Syndrome day, its part of March which is DS awareness month, we are encouraged to wear colourful miss matched socks, we have loads of these crazy socks. 

 Saturday we were in the woods on a sponsored walk, we did have time too play. 

So many children running around and playing, Portsmouth DS Society is always a family affair. 

George is completely mobile with his walker and was determined to get around the woods, he loved the muddy areas. 

Sunday was another fundraiser, no sponsors just lots of buckets to collect money in, at a local out of town shopping centre, here George is walking with Grancha, Molly is in the pushchair. 

George could not wait for the group photo, he was wanting to walk, another family day with characters from Star Wars who drew people to us. He started at the front and finished last, but he did the walk. 

 I have done fantastic number of steps, its been a tiring couple of days, but so much fun. Later today I am at Georges nursery for an hour, Wednesday we are at a morning coffee event, there are still busy days to come this month. 

It is truly humbling to see so many people come together to support our local group, the help they have given daughter and George is amazing. Always family events and always multiple generations, so many happy smiling faces.
