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.

Golf Day 2025

June 18, 2025
Down Syndrome Cheshire is thrilled to celebrate the tremendous success of our recent annual Golf Day fundraiser, held at the stunning Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club. With over fifty enthusiastic players taking to the fairways under glorious skies, the day was filled with friendly competition, laughter, and community spirit. After a rewarding round of golf, guests enjoyed a hearty hot supper, a refreshing cold beer, and the excitement of our star prize raffle. Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, the event raised over £2,500—funds that will go directly towards supporting and empowering our wonderful Down Syndrome Cheshire family. We are deeply grateful to all who took part and made this day such a memorable celebration.
