Scores support Down’s Syndrome families
According to Annelize Boot, Down's Syndrome individuals bring a unique brightness, creativity, and determination. However, they often face barriers that limit their participation in society.
This past weekend saw a festive pink picnic being held at the National Botanical Gardens, with the friends and family of people with Down’s Syndrome gathering for a fun walk and picnic. Close to 100 people met and had a fun-filled time together, not forgetting that there was a cause to support.
Down’s Syndrome Association spokesperson Annelize Boot told Rekord: “Persons with Down’s Syndrome bring an undeniable light into our world. Their enthusiasm, creativity and unwavering determination inspire us all. It is, however, crucial to acknowledge that individuals with Down’s Syndrome often encounter barriers that hinder their full participation in society.”
She expressed the hope that, “together we can work towards improving the lives of those with the syndrome, as well as their families.”
