The action

Our awareness and fundraising campaign, “Support like a Marathoner Down Syndrome Albania” (DSA) takes place within the framework of the Tirana Marathon, happening on October 23, 2022. October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and this is the 2nd edition of this campaign. The campaign is not officially connected with the organization of the Tirana Marathon. Down Syndrome Albania Foundation is approaching this event in two intentions:

1. To invite runners to dedicate their race to the cause of individuals with Down Syndrome, as October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

2. Invites the community (citizens and businesses) to make donations towards DSA Foundation.

All proceeds will go to support the PRO PAK Center at the Down Syndrome Albania Foundation. Our center provides therapeutic services for 43 children with disabilities. One hour of therapy costs 1500 ALL. A child with disabilities needs from 3-10 hours of therapy per week, based on their development and intervention needs (physical therapy, speech therapy, ABA therapy).
