    Thank you so much generous donors, enthusiastic mission participants, and supporters of all kinds. Together we made it all the way around NZ and we reached our fundraising goal of $10,000!! That represents a year of speech therapy for 10 of the 217 kids we support - what an amazing achievement! This was the first time we've been able to hold an event since 2019, and we are so grateful to you all for embracing the virtual for a very special World Down Syndrome Day. Thank you all so much <3

    Love from Sarah and the UpsideDowns team

    The virtual run participants are racing ahead! We're over 100km ahead of schedule thanks to their brilliant efforts, and have already passed our first 2 milestones: Cape Reinga, and Clevedon. Enjoy the video they unlocked when they walked past one of the nerve centres of UpsideDowns!
