2017 Rockin’ Recipient Mary Borman rocked Washington DC!!! This amazing self-advocate recently attended an appropriations hearing for NIH funding for Down syndrome research. There’s a lack of federal funding in this area, so Mary and other advocates went to talk to congressional representatives, staff members and folks in the media to represent our tribe and tell everyone that Down syndrome research should be a national priority!!! ????❤️???????? GO, MARY!!! We are so proud of you and all you do!!!
Mary’s in her first semester at the EMPOWER program at the University of Arkansas. She’s an accomplished swimmer and wants to work in a school someday. I have no doubt she will succeed in realizing her dreams!!! Read more about Mary – and have your heart warmed by the light that shines out of this extra special lady!! I see it when I look at her photos, do you??? ❤️❤️❤️ http://bit.ly/2lZtaUn
