Episode 20 - Interview with Cassandra - Mother of 22 mth old son Malachi from USA, who was born with IA/ARM and Down Syndrome
For Episode 20, to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness month we are joined by Cassandra from Florida USA who shares the story of her beautiful son 22 month old Malachi who was born with "Imperforate Anus/Anorectal Malformation without fistula" and Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21). The classification of "IA/ARM without fistula" is a unique characteristic which is found in only 5% of Anorectal Malformations cases with 95% of children also diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Cassandra gives us an incredible insight into the continual challenges Malachi has endured and the passion she has for advocating for a very special community. I know Malachi's story will touch the hearts of us all.
