Do you have a sibling with Down Syndrome?

Do you have a great story to tell about your experiences?

Kristin Lanari, a sibling in the Fox Valley, has received a grant to compile a book of stories by siblings of people with Down Syndrome.  We are looking for personal stories on what it’s like to have a sibling with Down Syndrome — the joys, the challenges, and the everyday events.  We want siblings of all ages from the Fox Valley, and hope you will be willing to share your unique story.

The story should be 750 words or less, and can deal with any aspect of what it’s like to be a sibling.  We will include photos in the book, so Kristin will be taking photos of all siblings involved. 

If you have questions or are interested in submitting a story, please email Kristin.

If you would be interested in participating in advocacy events to help promote the book, please let Kristin know.
