MANY thanks for your coverage of our son Joseph and our attempts to help York's SNAPPY special needs charity to find better funding (April 9 and 12).
You say in the article that Joseph "suffers from Downs Syndrome". I can assure your readers that Joseph does not suffer at all!
He is generally a very happy lad. Downs Syndrome is a condition, not a disease.
Your readers will be able to meet him on Sunday in St Sampson's Square, where Snappy will be holding a fundraising event centred around an unusual bike try-out show, with an attempt by Joseph and his SNAPPY friends to pedal 100 kilometres on exercise bikes.
