I wanted to let you know about the blog, Everyone Has a Gift. This unique blog is written by Mary, a mom whose daughter just happens to have Down syndrome.
Everyone Has a Gift, however, is not specifically a blog about Down syndrome. As it's name implies, it focuses on the gifts that fill each of our lives, the gifts each person brings to this world. Something tells me, Mary's beautiful daughter Anna was her inspiration in creating her blog.
The unique thing about this blog is Mary asks people to share their stories. If you know someone whose special gift might be of interest to others, share it with Mary. She just might feature your story on her blog.
Mary also happens to be one of the chairs and founders of the New York City Romp for Research which raises money for the Down Syndrome Treatment and Research Foundation. Since it's founding in 2006, The Romp for Research has raised more than $500,00. The Down syndrome community has surely benefitted from the gifts Mary has shared through the creation and execution of this fun, fundraising event.
The date of this year's Romp for Research is October 3, 2010. If you are in the NY area, stop by!
