Throughout October we StepUP! to celebrate Down syndrome awareness month. This is a time to celebrate, recognise, and promote the skills, abilities and talents of people with Down syndrome. Funds raised allow Down Syndrome Queensland to continue working alongside people with Down syndrome to deliver services, programs and support, ensuring individuals reach their full potential and live the lives they choose.

Join the 21 Million Step challenge

Throughout October, the team at Down Syndrome Queensland are going to StepUp! and take on the virtual challenge of walking 21 Million Steps in 21 Days; we invite you to join our team for this challenge.

Our goal is to recruit at least 100 fundraisers to each take 10,000 steps per day for 21 days, which will see us reach our target of 21 million steps in 21 days.

If a step challenge is not for you, that is ok. Choose your own challenge and do this 21 times during October. StepUP! #21YourWay.
