💙💛 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month! 💛💙
🌟 Meet Fergus Cosgrove! 🌟
Fergus finished 6th Year at St Patrick’s Classical School, Navan, in May and sat a number of Leaving Certificate exams in June.
Needless to say, we are super proud of Fergus every day, but we were especially proud when he successfully passed his Leaving Certificate exams! 🎓👏 Fergus put a huge amount of hard work into achieving this fantastic milestone.
Since then, Fergus has started at Let’s Go in Dublin and is now travelling up and down independently. 🚌💪
Another fantastic milestone for Fergus and a brilliant step towards greater independence! 💜👏
Well done, Fergus — you should be very proud of yourself!
🎉Once again, we’d love to celebrate our amazing Louth Meath members by featuring someone each day throughout October — and if we get lots of submissions, we’ll feature more than one! 😊
📸 Send us a photo, video or short story that shows what makes your loved one special.
🎂 October birthday? Let us know and we’ll celebrate with you!
🎥 Older members are also welcome to share their own story on video.
📧 Send submissions to info@louthmeath.downsyndrome.ie
Let’s fill October with celebration, positivity and smiles! 💙💛
