On Meeting the Driving Force Behind Down's Syndrome Charity



Damon Hill at Sandy Park

Excited at having a rare evening out together, and at the prospect of meeting a man we had been inspired by for many years, Bob and I preened and scrubbed up on Friday evening before kissing the girls goodnight as they settled down for an evening of jolly japes and a few too many sweets with one of my oldest friends.



Scrubbed up and ready for a Down's syndrome charity evening

We were heading to Exeter's Sandy Park for a glittering charity auction evening organised by the Down's Syndrome Association and Down Syndrome International whose work supporting families in this country and across the globe is legendary. 

The host for the evening was the internationally renowned F1 racer and Sports Personality of the Year Damon Hill OBE and our dining partners were the generous Porsche Exeter and Michael Spiers Jewellers who had both donated fabulous prizes for the occasion.
