Celebrities that support Down syndrome!

This week a random thought came to my head wondering who supports people with Down syndrome. I thought it would be interesting to see if there were any celebrities that we know that support people with Down syndrome and why they have made the effort to support this community. I found an awesome document that you can look at here! The document is not an all encompassing list, but it definitely gives a few names of people I had no idea supported individuals with Down syndrome. One of my favorite celebrities that supports Down syndrome is Eva Longoria. Eva Longoria has an older sister named Elizabeth who has Down syndrome. I have learned that Eva Longoria has founded an organization known as Eva's Heroes which provides a setting that teaches teens and young adults transitioning skills to try and be successful in society. The program is located in San Antonio, TX and seems to offer a plethora of options for teens and young adults with intellectual disabilities such as after school programs, summer enrichment programs and monthly activities. I am so happy that Eva Longoria has stepped up to help support such great people! She is truly inspiring and shows what it means to be a loving sister! Look at Eva's Heroes website here!
