Statistically, the happiest individuals are those with Down Syndrome, as well as their families.

In the meantime, a popular option to “reduce” Down Syndrome cases is abortion.

I clearly need to step up my training. I’m over here training for “just” a marathon.

 

[mardad]

[pmclaine]

If everyone had some measure of Down Syndrome the world would be a better place.

Wow. Guess I should get on my PT and workout and stop being a pussy.
I needed a good story today.


When I was a kid I worked at the local grocery. Lady would coming shopping with her son who had Down’s.
Brian would come help me bag groceries or stock while his mom shopped.
His favorite job was to run the switch for the conveyor to move stuff from the checker to the bagger.
We would sneak him in the back and let him run the cardboard bailer too!

Bagging groceries always took longer. Folks never cared.
Brian’s smile lit the whole cash register area up.

 

[Yells01]

These are the kind of success stories I look for in my field. This man is a damn fine example of an inspiration. Love this shit.

 

[WizManBooks]

You're you own limitations, What a determined man.

You don't need excuses if you just admit you're fat and lazy....


I just bought a snowmobile. I've been in the gym more in the last 5 weeks than the previous 5 years. Nothing more motivating than pain reduction. Figure it'll be easier to move a 500lb machine if I'm 220lbs and solid, rather than my 220lb with beer gut.

 

[spartan67]

Now thats what I call Motivating as Fuc*!!!!

The (Im Entitled) generation needs to read this and follow it and quit whining because they lost a call of duty match in mommys basement. He wanted it so he worked for it. He did it. He earned it... Enough Said
