Story 4

When I was pregnant I found out at my 12 week scan there was a high possability of a chromosomal difference. The grief I felt was something else - the grief for the baby I thought I was going to have, for the life I was going to have with him, for the life he was going to have. If I could go back now and tell my pregnant self what life was actually going to be like , I would have enjoyed my preganancy and saved myself a lot of tears.  


He's the most sassy, funny, clever, affectionate cheeky monkey you could ever meet, and he brings so much joy to everyone that has the pleasure of meeting him. I wouldn't change a single thing about him. 


He's my little superhero.

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."
