Her hope is to convince everyone that Down Syndrome doesn’t change a person. It is just an extra obstacle to overcome in life.

The kids look absolutely happy and joyful in the pictures.

Down Syndrome is a condition which occurs when a baby is born with one extra chromosome.

The degree to which Down Syndrome can affect a person’s life varies. In certain circumstances, it will have a more debilitating effect whereas, in others, it can be very easy to deal with.

While there is no formal cure, Down Syndrome research has evolved and those are living longer and can enjoy their lives more despite having the disability.

Although Julie’s sister Dina passed away over four years ago Julie still remembers her beloved sister dearly.
