World Down Sydrome Day 2014 - A Linky

March 21st is arguably the busiest time of year for any parent, charity worker, blogger, campaigner or  advocate who has, or has any connection with, someone who has Down's syndrome.


Yes, it's World Down Syndrome Day! 
#WDSD2014

The date is chosen to represent the 3 copies of chromosome 21 that individuals with the condition have. It's a day of celebration, education, of support and sharing information, as well as fundraising for the charities we hold dear and this year the focus is on HEALTH.

Heart and Sold: Artists with Down's Syndrome

I chatted to Suzie Moffat recently, the curator of a wonderful art project that showcases the work of art by artists with Down's syndrome.


Heart & Sold has been exhibiting at The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester and is receiving fantastic coverage.  

For those of you who don’t know, Heart & Sold is a thought provoking exhibition exploring artworks created with much love and passion, the exhibition hopes to communicate a heartfelt message and make a difference to people's lives. All of the artworks on display are produced by extremely talented artists, all of whom have Down syndrome.
