Friends, thank you for celebrating Down Syndrome Awareness Month with us! Today we wrap up our celebration with self-advocates Craig Blackburn & Heather Hancock-Blackburn. This power couple is talking all about love at first sight, marriage equality, long-distance relationships, and so much more! From shifting narratives to building careers, and competing in Special Olympics across the country these incredible self-advocates have so much to be proud of. Heather’s Mom Lisa and Craig’s Mom Pat join us to share what it was like as parents to witness their love story and advice for parents and caregivers. Craig & Heather you had us at hello, we just love your love! You don’t want to miss this epic celebration of love, self-advocacy, and equality.
