💙💛 October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month! 💛💙

🎉 Meet Kyle Morrissey! 🎉

Today is a special day as Kyle celebrates his 20th birthday! 🥳🎂🎈

Kyle has recently started his second year at the National Learning Network in Navan. He also attends LMETB in Navan twice a week, where he previously completed the Readiness for Work course, organised in conjunction with our Louth/Meath Branch. Kyle really enjoys his time there! 👏

When he's not busy with his studies, Kyle loves spending time with his friends, going to the cinema, bowling and enjoying a coffee. ☕🎳🎬

And of course, there's his dog Buddy, who Kyle thinks is hilarious! 🐶😂💙

🎂 Happy 20th Birthday, Kyle! We hope you have a fantastic day filled with fun, laughter and plenty of birthday celebrations! 💙💛

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! 💙💛
