Matt & Sarah's Marathon triumph!

Running a Marathon is such an awesome achievement, especially the London event, and we're so proud of Matt & Sarah for pushing themselves to raise funds and awareness for DSC


Down Syndrome Cheshire co-founder, Sara Larkin took part with her husband, Matt, and both had a fantastic experience. Here's what they had to say on their Just Giving page: 

"Well, we made it!! Inspired by your generosity (and the crowd too of course!) we both made it round London; Sarah gave it everything with a fabulous 3h56 and Matt needed to draw on your motivation to finish in 3h28. What an atmosphere, a truly unique event for us and a massive sense of achievement too of course!"

A huge well done, guys!! If you'd like to donate to their Just Giving campaign - which currently stands at over £1300 -  then please click here.

This World Down Syndrome Day, our challenge was simple: We just wanted you to get up, get out, and get active for Down Syndrome Cheshire in whatever way you could, and you guys accepted the challenge brilliantly! We are so proud and incredibly grateful to everyone who was sponsored to walk further; run faster; gym harder, and Zumba crazier than they thought possible, all of which raised over £6400!! This is absolutely incredible! Well done to all of our challengers; you are ALL SUPERHEROES!

We're so grateful to everyone who took up this year's Get Active For DSC challenge to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day 2025 - including Penny, who undertook an amazing Zumba-thon with her friends and raised £761 for DSC! This is such an inspirational story, and we feel so grateful and lucky to have the support of amazing people like Penny, whose kindness and determination help us to make a difference in the lives of our Cheshire Down syndrome community.
