Teddy’s Trundle 2025

Now in its 4th year, Teddy's Trundle will take place on Saturday, 22nd March 2025! A group of incredible friends and family will be walking the challenging 21km from Peel to Douglas to raise awareness for Trisomy 21 (more commonly known as Down Syndrome).

In 2024, we were overwhelmed by the generosity of our loved ones, raising a phenomenal £7000. This year, we’re aiming high for a target of £5000, and we need your support more than ever.

GOING NATIONAL AGAIN- Our Devonian family and friends are also holding a Teddy’s Trundle on the same day!

As in previous years, we will walk 21km to raise awareness about Trisomy 21—what it is and, just as importantly, what it isn’t. We’re also raising funds to support better education and preparation for those working with first-time parents and families of children with Down syndrome.

For those who have followed our journey, you’ll know that when Oli and I first learned of Teddy's diagnosis at 8 weeks old, our experience was far from positive. That’s why we’re passionate about ensuring others have a different, more supportive experience.

Teddy is now 3.5 years old, and as we continue on this path, we’ve found the resources from Positive About Down Syndrome (PADS) to be an incredible help.

Join us, participate, or simply wear some odd socks to show your support! World Down Syndrome Day is on 21st March.

P.S. Why odd socks? The idea was created because chromosomes are shaped "like socks," and people with Down syndrome have an extra chromosome.
