Step UP! for Down Syndrome: Celebrating Inclusion and Awareness

Down Syndrome NSW is gearing up to host its annual "Step UP!" event, bringing together individuals, families, and communities in a heartwarming celebration of Down Syndrome Awareness Month. This inclusive gathering, set against the backdrop of The Domain Sydney, promises a day of family fun and awareness-raising for a noble cause.

On Sunday, October 22, from 10 am to 1 pm, participants will embark on a joyful 2km walk around the Royal Botanical Gardens, Sydney, providing breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. The event is designed to foster a positive and inclusive society for individuals with Down syndrome, all while having an enjoyable time with friends and family.

The event promises an array of activities for all ages, including a warm-up and cool-down session by WeFlex, surprise visits from beloved children's characters, live performances, and music throughout the day. For foodies, there will be a cooking demonstration by former My Kitchen Rules contestant Fuzz Ali, food and coffee stalls offering crepes, paella, and Spanish sandwiches, and a chance to indulge in culinary delights.

Children can enjoy sports and games courtesy of Leap Frog, craft activities run by Bunnings NSW/ACT, face painting, and a variety of market stalls to explore. The day's festivities aim to create an inclusive environment where individuals with Down syndrome can showcase their abilities and talents.
