💙💛 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month! 💛💙
This is Eoin Killeen, aged 10
Cheeky and lovable.
Eoin loves to cycle, play outside, swim and walk his dog, Parker.
He is much loved by his family and school friends, and anyone he meets.
Always has a wave or hello for everyone he sees, and loves asking them their names.
He is a great backseat driver too, which Mammy and Daddy love 😁
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! 💙💛

💙💛 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month! 💛💙
👑 Hi, I’m Aria Faulkner, the boss of the house! I’m 2 years old and live in Fordstown with my mammy, daddy, big brother Kayden (5) and baby sister Reeva (8 weeks old). It’s a busy house, that’s for sure! 😁💗
Aria attends creche five days a week, where she is fully included in all the fun. She’s a sociable little girl who loves a bit of devilment with her big brother Kayden! 🥰
Her favourite things to do are playing with her dolls and dressing up. 👗🧸
Now, nearly two years on from her heart surgery, Aria is doing brilliantly and hasn’t looked back! She’s busy enjoying life and getting on with being a happy, typical two-year-old. 💗🌟
Keep shining, Aria — the boss of the house! 👑💙💛
