We’re very proud to be the go-to writers for the Down’s syndrome community. Here we have Michelle, mum to the beautiful Mara. Mara is spearheading a revolution – and we’re on board! Michelle was fed up with the derogatory way doctors, nurses and people on the street spoke about her daughter. So she started a campaign – Lose the Label – to gently educate the world about choice of language used.

The campaign has gone global. Not only have we placed Mara and Michelle’s story in Bella, the Sunday Mirror, New and Woman (those last two are yet to be published, watch this space) but around the world too. Families are joining the Lose the Label campaign from every corner of the world and each new poster helps one more person think. Well, at least one. More like one thousand. Look out for Mara on a billboard near you!
