October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month.  All month long we will be sharing facts about DS, as well as, stories of people living with DS.  Here are two stories of people that we think are pretty cool:

Tim Harris is a 28 year old man who was voted Homecoming King and Student of the Year when he graduated from high school. Tim graduated from Eastern New Mexico University where he studied Food Service. He has traveled the world on a sailboat. Early in his teen years, Tim began to dream of owning his own restaurant. In 2010 that dream became a reality with the opening of Tim's Place. You can learn more about Tim here:

The next person you need to meet is Carter Murai. At only 7 years old, he became the first young model with Down syndrome to speak in a marketing campaign. In this Care.com commercial Carter talks about his requirements for the dream baby sitter. 

These are just two of the awesome people that we are going to tell you about!  Stay tuned all month long for more cool people and facts about Down Syndrome.
