Kate & Mandy are talking to pea-friend Ingerlise about her daughter who has Trisomy 21 (better known as Down Syndrome) and how she came to start 21 Gifts. 21 Gifts is a free 'welcome-to-the-world' baby suitcase to families who receive a diagnosis for Down Syndrome. Ingerlise and her husband Dan have teamed up with incredible health professionals in more than 40 hospitals and clinics across Australia and New Zealand, who deliver this gift of hope to new families and in the process help rewrite the opening act of a T21 diagnosis story. The baby suitcase is bursting with love, inspiration, gifts, helpful information and all the things you didn't know about the joys of life with an x-factor of opportunities. Their aim is to reach all hospitals, so spread the word!
