St Joseph’s student Cam Klein and his family supports Down Syndrome Victoria because Cam’s little brother who was born with Down syndrome in 2010. Down Syndrome Victoria supports people with Down syndrome and their families, therapists and educators by organising education sessions, providing up to date information about Down syndrome, promoting and facilitating pathways for people with Down syndrome that have finished school and organising family support groups amongst other things.

Cam usually volunteers his time to help out his Mum and other parents from the local Down Syndrome group when they run their local Step Up event on the Geelong Waterfront. This year he heard about the 21 Your Way challenge and thought it was something he could participate in instead. Cam set himself a challenge to ride his pushbike 21kms a day for 21 days starting at the beginning of October.

When asked why he was doing the challenge, Cam said “My little brother Rowan is an awesome kid and I am proud to undertake a challenge like this to help raise awareness of Down syndrome in the community and to raise money for an organisation that tries to do the same.”

You can still support Cam for his challenge via the link below:
