Circle 21 a ‘think global, act local’ organisation that supports families who have children with Down Syndrome around the world, based in Toronto, and a bit like our PSDS, added a gorgeous image of this little chap, Alfie, to their Facebook timeline.

At the time of posting, the image had 91,082 likes and 3,057 comments, with 3,752 on Facebook, with, from what can be seen (many of the comments are in Scandinavian), not a single negative one!

“Never look at limitations.. Push the boundaries! Break free and fly!” attributed to Colette Pretorius on George’s comments for the image

At time of posting the image had 94,963 likes and 24,131 shares

Thank you George for making the situation more visible to your masses of ‘followers’. We salute you!
