What if we looked at our children not through the lens of what they might never do, but through the lens of who they already are — unique human beings created in God’s image. And what becomes possible when we believe in them, invest in them, and invite the world to do the same?
This Down Syndrome Awareness Month, we’re inviting YOU to look at our children through a new lens — one that sees their courage, their resilience, and the unmatched joy they bring into the world. One that recognizes that their worth comes from God - who intentionally designed them with an extra chromosome.
We’re shining a light on the real, raw, hard-won inchstones and milestones — the tiny hands gripping a spoon and eating for the first time, the first independent steps after countless therapy sessions, the moments of courage, determination, and pure joy. These aren’t just victories for our children. They are reminders of the unbreakable human spirit.
Our kids are not defined by a diagnosis. They are defined by their courage.
By their perseverance. By the light they bring to this world. And they invite all of us to live better — to love deeper, and to believe harder.
Join us as we celebrate their stories, their strength, and their unstoppable potential. Come see possibility through a new lens. Champion possibility with us.
It means:
• Choosing hope over fear.
• Seeing possibility, not limitation.
• Celebrating every small win like it’s the greatest victory.
• Finding ways to help individuals with Down syndrome succeed and live their best lives. And of course, cheering them on the entire way!
• Share your own story on social media of how you Champion Possibility with someone in your life who has Down syndrome. Use the hashtags like #ChampionPossibility or #ChampionWith #TeamIronWill
• Share your story with us via email so we can highlight you on our website and social media pages. Send pictures and story to cathy@teamironwill.org
• If you do not have a child with Down syndrome, you can share a story of someone with Down syndrome who has impacted your life. Or share how you are positively impacting the lives of people in the Down syndrome community.
• Hop on social media and share our posts and reels with your followers.
