24.01.2022 #21YourWay ambassador Steve is painting his way through his favourite 21 Marvel characters in October for Down Syndrome Awareness Month - and here they are! Well done Steve, what a talent! #21YourWay #downsyndromeawarenessmonth

19.01.2022 Throughout this month we’ve been busting myths about Down syndrome and today we want to tackle the misconception that there are varying levels or degrees of Down syndrome. Every individual, with or without Down syndrome, has many genetic and environmental factors that can influence the way they learn, thrive and grow. Every person with Down syndrome has a full range of abilities and will have different things they are good at and other things that they find harder. They wil...l have areas of strengths and other areas where they need more support, just like everyone else in the community. To learn more about Down syndrome, visit our website at www.downsyndrome.org.au #21YourWay #inclusionmatters #downsyndrome #t21 #21Facts

15.01.2022 During Down Syndrome Awareness Month, our community has connected like never before. Let’s keep up the conversation, continue to connect with our cause and celebrate the contributions of people with Down syndrome. There’s still time yet! If you’re looking to take on a #21YourWay challenge, you could tag 21 people you know and share a message about Down syndrome or maybe you could reconnect with someone you’ve met through this campaign? Down Syndrome organisations around the country rely on community support. Considering donating via www.21YourWay.com.au.
