Buy My Dress event to raise vital funds for Down Syndrome

The Buy My Dress fundraiser will raise vital funds for the Down Syndrome Centre this Sunday. Arlene Harris talks to Triona Cussen who says the campaign will help others like her son.

JOSHUA Cussen is the youngest of four boys. At 2 ½ he loves going swimming, visiting the playground and watching Mr Tumble on TV. Doted on by his parents (Triona and Pat) and three brothers Kai, 15, Christopher, 13, and Dylan, 12, he is happy, lovable and fun.

He also has Down syndrome and mother Triona says the support she has received since his birth from the Down Syndrome Centre (DSC) has been invaluable so she is urging women all over the country to come out this Sunday to support the Buy My Dress Campaign which aims to raise awareness about the condition and funds for the charity.
