Posted by Thomas Regan on May 28, 2008 3:41 PM
This years Awareness Week will run from Monday 2nd - Sunday 8th June and Down Syndrome Liverpool have organised a 'Bag Pack' at Sainsbury’s on East Prescot Road on Saturday 7th June.
The theme this year is about empowering people with Down’s syndrome along with their parents, carers, family and friends to be aware of their human rights and to demand them in all aspects of life.
Every year Awareness Week gives all members and supporters the opportunity to stand-up and shout-out about Down’s syndrome. It is the perfect chance to raise awareness of the work of the local charities like Down Syndrome Liverpool and to champion the rights of people with Down’s syndrome.

Big thanks to Everton star Lee Carsley!

You may remember some time ago I blooged that the Everton FC midfielder Lee Carsley, who has a young son with Down syndrome, had put up for auction a Planet Hollywood leather jacket, an item all the first team squad were presented with by Blues director Robert Earl on a recent trip to New York.
Lee decided to get the Everton squad to sign his and said all proceeds raised would go to Down Syndrome Liverpool.
True to his word Lee met up with us recently and presented us with a cheque for £1000!!
