Dear friends, it's that time of year again where I, along with my friends, am taking part in the VHI Women's Mini Marathon to raise vital funds for Down Syndrome Tipperary Branch. This is our 3rd year taking part and it's such a fun day. Down Syndrome Tipperary is a voluntary organisation run by parents and families of children,  teens and adults with Down syndrome.  The branch provides vital services to enhance the lives of our members and to ensure that they will live as independent lives as is possible. Some of the services we provide include Speech and Language Therapy,  an educational tutor, dance classes, Stepping Ahead,  youth club and cookery classes to name but a few. All funds raised will stay with the Tipperary branch. We don't receive government funding and rely on the generosity and goodwill of our communities to maintain the service we offer. In addition to this idonate page we also have sponsorship cards which anybody is free to take from me! Many thanks in advance for any amount donated 💕💕
