Sydney

Meet Sydney (AKA Sydney Bean!) Sydney is 18 months old. Wow- that went fast! She will be the big TWO years old on August 24, 2019. She is the baby of three and absolutely loves her big sister and brother, Olivia (6) and Logan (3). They truly are the best of friends. From her love of matchbox cars and superheroes, to tackling her brother and reading with her sister, she has brought a new light to our lives. She is feisty, determined, and nothing will stop her until she succeeds!

Sydney was a surprise birth diagnosis and though we weren’t ready for our new journey, we have set out as a family to change the misconceptions of Down syndrome. Sydney was chosen to star in the Nothing Down documentary, “Dear Doctor”. We were able to share the story of our birth diagnosis and how we were lucky to have her diagnosis delivered to us in such a compassionate and loving manner.

Sydney’s smile, her laugh, and her wildness will bring a smile to your face and make your heart skip a beat. She has brought our family together, brought our friends closer and has even brought our community together. At almost two years old, she is helping to show that there is so much more to Down syndrome than just a diagnosis, and because of her we have been able to bring awareness, advocacy and inclusion.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of the Nothing Down organization. After much careful thought and consideration, we have made the difficult decision to bring this chapter to a close.
Since our founding in 2016, we have achieved so much together—making a meaningful impact in the Down syndrome community and connecting with incredible individuals along the way. We are immensely proud of the work we've done and deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such a positive and supportive network.
We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to every donor, participant, volunteer, and supporter who helped bring Nothing Down to life. Your contributions have been invaluable, and none of our accomplishments would have been possible without you.
Though our organization is closing, Nothing Down's Facebook page will remain where new and expectant parents can find hope and inspiration from our past projects and awareness content. We are so grateful for all the wonderful years.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for everything.
