Our son Angel is the reason we started Downs In Motion. After he completed high school, we found that there was not much out there for young adults with Down Syndrome. He missed the daily interactions that came with attending school, such as hanging out with friends and being surrounded by his peers. He began to regress in his speech, social skills, and physical fitness. In August of 2018, our Church "Abundant“ provided the platform to develop a Connect Group that we could tailor our interest to. We truly believe that we were called for this journey and therefore with the strong encouragement of our church, we created Downs in Motion.
