Down Syndrome Ireland is the chosen beneficiary for the tenth edition of the Tour de Munster.
Down Syndrome Ireland is an organisation of people with Down syndrome and their parents and guardians. Their goal is to help people with Down syndrome make their own futures as bright and independent as possible by providing them with education, support and friendship every step of the way.
Their aims include the provision of parental counselling, appropriate educational facilities for children with Down syndrome and a forum where parents and guardians can meet to exchange views and ideas. It is funded by voluntary contributions and events organised by members. From modest beginnings in 1971, it has now grown to over 3000 member families with 25 branches nationwide.
