Zyire Wells and D.J. Ross are dominating down in the interior on both ends of the court. The Memphis Blazers’ (15U) frontcourt is giving 918 Showtime (OK) everything they can handle.

Zephy’s amazing speech therapist ran for @PositiveaboutDS

[Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings @flowergirl_lon]

Amber ran mile #17 of the marathon FOR ZEPHY yesterday 😍🙌🏻

If you can support her fundraising please do - the difference she’s made as Zephy’s speech therapist since he was barely a year old is PHENOMENAL.

I’ve got something in my eyes 😭

@Leisureforall @lambeth_council @Lambethgp @LambethLabour we NEED one in Streatham playground - urgently!
The small swings are too small for kids like him & the big ones are unsafe (no support / restraints).
Such a simple addition & he LOVED IT. Pushing is exercise for me, too!

[Sam (Flower Girl) Jennings @flowergirl_lon]

We checked out the new Crystal Palace park today & for the first time in YEARS Zephy was able to get in & out of a swing that I was able to position by to push to get him started.
Sheer joy - note the dip in the seat that essentially acts as a restraint so he’s supported & safe!

@TolsAbeni Last Saturday I told my friend that JJ has never been ill. Like the kid never gets sick. The next day he was blue lighted into hospital needing oxygen. He’s fine now but let me never talk like that again 😭

It's World Down Syndrome Day tomorrow, 21st March.

Did you now, it’s a stereotype that babies with Down syndrome can’t breastfeed?

Haven’t seen Zephy for a couple weeks cos Pneumonia & won’t be seeing him the next couple of Saturdays so I got him a gift to soften the blow 👀

When he was told YES he could have roast dinner & a bath after Sam’s house today he screamed & danced like a lottery winner 🥹 😆 🙌🏻

@flowergirl_lon Me and my mum just had this same conversation. Lol

[chromosomes and curls @scl05]

@flowergirl_lon That’s awful!

[Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP @BellRibeiroAddy]

This week, I paid tribute to my former constituent @flowergirllondon, who has fought tirelessly for accessible railways.

I hope the government will listen to disability rights activists like Sam and heed the Transport Select Committee's report on accessible travel.
