Step Up for Down syndrome - a Sydney family tradition

Don and Alison Mason and their boys are long term supporters of our community awareness walks, and have brought along a growing family contingent over the years.  When Jack, who has Down syndrome, was little, Don carried him across the Sydney Harbour Bridge on his shoulders ... and he did it again on Sunday for our first Step Up for Down syndrome event, on a very warm spring day.

Jack knows he's on a good thing!
The family has grown with Connor's arrival ... 
... so big brother Ben has taken on shoulder carrying duties too!
The extended family contingent
Ben, Don and Jack must have one of the biggest collections of these event T-shirts!

It looks as though things were a little cooler in Launceston (Tasmania) on Sunday for the local Step Up for Down syndrome event at Royal Park. The Launceston Examiner published a gallery of 21 photos by Paul Scambler from the event today - long sleeves and jackets are in evidence, along with happy faces and enthusiasm (and shoulder riding) as the walkers step out.
