Over the next few weeks, you’ll be hearing directly from members of our Down Syndrome Advisory Network (DSAN). They’ll be sharing their own stories and what matters most to them.
First up, Sandon's love of art...
I want to share with you some of my artwork and hopefully inspire you to try and do some yourself.
There are lots of different types of art. Here are some examples of why I enjoy art so much.
I like performing art like music
I like creating art in movies and through filming and photography
I like making models from clay
I created a picture of Spiderman using the ‘expanding and drawing’ method.
One day I hope to be able to sell some of my art pieces.
I hope I have inspired you. Please share this with others or leave a ‘like’ in the comments below.

Huge shoutout to our team member Ethan Parry!
Earlier this month, he won silver in the Open Men’s Long Jump at the 2025 Virtus World Athletics Championships in Brisbane. He also helped set a new Australian record in the 4 x 100m relay and won another silver with teammates Ben, Sam and Coden.
Congratulations to all the other athletes who competed. What an amazing effort!

Down Syndrome & Intellectual Disability Queensland celebrated Down Syndrome Awareness Month in style earlier this month at their Gala Dinner.
It was a wonderful opportunity to chat, dance and celebrate together.
Take a look at these beautiful shots from the night.
