Help Fionn speak on World Down Syndrome Day @ the UN in NYC.

Fionn is amazing. He's a fiddle player of some renown, and he's done a lot to help people in his community and elsewhere.
- travelled the world, from the Amazon to Zanzibar
- interviewed 700 people, , including Nobel Prize and Oscar winners, best selling authors, Heads of State, and people with Down syndrome, asking them what they love about their lives
- a pioneer of self directed support, the first adult in Ireland with Down syndrome to manage his own programme with state funding
- with his father, Jonathan, he runs a social enterprise, Fionnathan Productions.
- he has given talks at 90 schools and 30 universities
- helped to pass the UK's Down Syndrome Act 2022, meeting with 107 MPs
- worked with Harvard Law School to research how inclusive the UNCRPD process is, and how inclusive it can be
Now he's been invited to speak during the World DS Day Event at the UN in New York next month.
And, since he's journeying over from Ireland, he wants to bring his fiddle for the St Patrick's Day celebrations, a few days early.
Only trouble is, he's expected to cover the costs himself.
If you want to chip in, you'll be helping him (and his dad) realize a big ambition. One of many.
If you want to learn more about us, we're easy to find.
In fact, we're the only Fionnathan on the web.
