Tell Your Great Story to the National Down Syndrome Society

Thursday July 9, 2009

The National Down Syndrome Society, in collaboration with York and Chapel (a PR firm) has unveiled a new initiative - My Great Story.

Designed to let people with Down syndrome tell their stories, this project seeks to:

...honor and celebrate the great stories of the 400,000 Americans living with Down syndrome by showcasing these stories in a beautiful online storybook. This book will feature inspirational stories about work, school, friends, family, hobbies, travel, the NDSS Buddy Walk program and many other things. If you have Down syndrome, we want to hear your great story! We want to learn about your achievements, dreams, aspirations, successes, and anything else about yourself that you want to share. If you have a great story about someone you know who has Down syndrome, tell us!

Be sure and check out the project webpage and to encourage your family member or friend to participate!
