A six-year-old boy with Down’s syndrome has starred in a heart-touching Down’s syndrome awareness video releasing on World Down’s Syndrome Awareness Day on March 21.
Daniel Murray from Paisley will be seen asking people to see past his Down’s syndrome in the ‘What Do You See?” video.
The touching video has been created by Down’s syndrome charity ‘Wouldn’t Change a Thing’ and will be released on World Down’s Syndrome Awareness Day on March 21.
Daniel’s mother Stacey Corrigan and father Colin Murray are so proud of their son as he got the opportunity to be in the video.
Stacey said: “Daniel is our whole world. He is such an amazing and special little boy so we were thrilled that he has had the opportunity to be in the video.”
The 34-year-old mother said when people see Daniel or other people with Down’s syndrome, they only see their condition.
But, this video will encourage people to see much more than their condition as people with Down’s syndrome have so much to offer.
She said: “Daniel is so much more than his condition. He is a loving and happy wee boy. He loves school and his friends and his toys – all the usual things that most kids love.”
“In asking ‘What do you see when you look at me?’ We get to show the world all the beautiful things we love and see. ”
Daniel will also be seen in the “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” book which is for every new parent of a Down’s syndrome child.
The book will teach new parents of a Down’s syndrome child what it’s like to have a child with Down’s syndrome.
Stacey and her partner Colin support the charity ‘Wouldn’t Change a Thing’ and all the fundraising will go to every new parent who will receive a copy.
