You will find a description of our project below.
If, after reading the description, you agree this project is worthwhile you can help in 2 ways:
1. If you are an American Express card member – Go on line to
http://www.membersp
2. You can help us even more by forwarding this email to all the people on your contact list – to other family members, friends and associates. Send it to everybody you think might care about people with Down syndrome and ask them to vote for Awareness Can Build a Family.
With your help, we can mobilize thousands of people and, in the end, gain essential funding for our campaign to make the world aware that people with Down syndrome are “more alike than different.”
That is the theme of our campaign and here’s the way it is described with American Express:
Awareness Can Build a Family
Yearly, thousands of women are tested to determine if the child they carry has Down syndrome. A positive answer often portrays a bleak future in which their child will impose terrible burdens and dreams die.
Many medical professionals have scant knowledge of Down syndrome and are unable to comfort or educate.
Their messages tag people with Down syndrome as having no value, implying there is no place for them in our world.
The tragic result: an astonishing 90% of pregnancies involving diagnosis of Down syndrome are terminated.
In fact, there is much to celebrate. Children with Down syndrome excel in school, participating in sports and graduating. As adults they live independent, rewarding lives. Ask a parent – you will hear of joy, fulfillment.
Our Members Project, “Awareness Can Build a Family,” would use public service television, ads, booklets and more to tell that people with Down syndrome are more like all of us than not and are of priceless value.
If you agree with all of that, please vote as soon as possible – the seond round closes July 22, 2007!
