"Having a child with Down syndrome isn’t a curse; it is, as many parents will tell you, a blessing." Elizabeth Manresa who lost her daughter Mamie Grace after heart surgery.
Along with her husband Teddy Eynon they
have chosen to raise money for NDSS and work everyday to not only
improve the lives of people with Down syndrome but also educate those
who don’t yet see how amazing these people can be.
