Matt & Sarah's Marathon triumph!

Running a Marathon is such an awesome achievement, especially the London event, and we're so proud of Matt & Sarah for pushing themselves to raise funds and awareness for DSC


Down Syndrome Cheshire co-founder, Sara Larkin took part with her husband, Matt, and both had a fantastic experience. Here's what they had to say on their Just Giving page: 

"Well, we made it!! Inspired by your generosity (and the crowd too of course!) we both made it round London; Sarah gave it everything with a fabulous 3h56 and Matt needed to draw on your motivation to finish in 3h28. What an atmosphere, a truly unique event for us and a massive sense of achievement too of course!"

A huge well done, guys!! If you'd like to donate to their Just Giving campaign - which currently stands at over £1300 -  then please click here.

Darcey's Daily Walk Challenge for October

By Rebecca Goodier • October 6, 2025
"Darcey is going to walk for 21 minutes for 3 weeks in October to support DS Cheshire as her challenge for Down Syndrome awareness month!  Darcey isn’t one for walks, she loves coming in from school and chilling out doing creative stuff, so this may not sound a task to some, but for Darcey this is a physical and mental challenge. Please support her on this personal challenge which I know she will smash and all in a great cause."
