Sam Stubbs’s parents were asked about his quality of life while treating him for a lung infection. They realised it was because he was born with Down syndrome.

In May Friends for Life headed to Caversham Wildlife Park and had the chance to meet so many amazing animals. One of the highlights was a giant python, which some very brave members even held! We also got to meet a cute wombat and take photos together.

It turned out to be a lovely sunny day, and we spent time walking around Caversham Wildlife Park as a group. By the end, our feet were definitely tired, but it was wonderful catching up with families we hadn’t seen in a while and meeting some new faces too.
