About Us

welcome

River has Down syndrome, and he’s going                        to change the world!

Thanks for visiting I am River. I’m Hayley, mum to Skyler and River and we are here to help squash some outdated views about what Downs syndrome really means. I want people to see the truth and not just scary medical facts and opinions.

And finally I wanted to give River a voice, until he can use his own. I want to help give all people with Down syndrome a voice in a world that sees them as less.

You can reach me using the contact form or  my email address is hayley@iamriver.net
