Roisin has completed her Sunshine 10X Challenge!!
Roisin’s challenge was to swim 10 kilometres, which she has now done.
So far, she’s raised an amazing £1,575 - but it’s not too late to support her fundraising.
She says, “What makes this particularly challenging for me is that I have Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and autism. So this will tough, but I love swimming!
Sunshines & Smiles has provided me with the opportunity to work in their cafe 21 Co., speech and language lessons, and lots of other activities!
This charity is an amazing network of support for families with a child with Down syndrome.
You can help support me and Sunshines and Smiles by donating to my challenge - any amount, big or small, goes a long way to provide support to other families like mine.”
It’s also not too late for you to start your own challenge - the Sunshine 10X Challenge is running until 26th November!
