10 Ways to Champion Hope This

Down Syndrome Awareness Month 

In a world that doesn’t always see the worth of a person with Down syndrome, hope is a choice we make and live out, one family, one conversation, one act at a time. 

 

That’s the idea behind our year-end campaign, Champion Hope. For Life. And this Down Syndrome Awareness Month, below are ways you can live it out with us, whether you have five minutes or want to do more.

5. Become a Team Iron Will Ambassador and share resources and stories in your own community. Visit https://www.teamironwill.org/ambassador-program to get started. 

 

6. Check on a family you know raising a child with Down syndrome. A text, a visit, a meal. Let them know their child is seen, loved, and celebrated. And if their little one is in diapers, tell them about our Small Things, Great Love Diaper Project, which provides free diapers and wipes for families in the U.S. raising a child with Down syndrome. 


7. Educate yourself and others about the real lived experience of Down syndrome and how much is possible, so the next conversation you’re in is informed by truth, not fear. Gift the book Happiness is Down Syndrome: Strategies and Support for Parents at Every Stage by Misty Coy Snyder to a family on the Down syndrome journey.
