Leia is an amazing 8 year old girl. She is clever, smart and always wants to be where the

action is. Leia has Down’s syndrome and her condition doesn’t get in the way of anything.

Her curiosity, zest for life, and sheer cheekiness means she is often at the centre of things

and she is great at charming people. Her smile and laugh are infectious and she can show

real empathy and love towards people.

Leia is an extrovert and a born performer. She simply LOVES it. She always has a dance to

show or a joke to tell. There is never a dull moment. She attends street dance, ballet and

Mark Jermin performance classes and regularly join in the public shows.

Whenever Leia is out and about she will stop people for a chat. This can sometimes take

people by surprise, but they always leave the conversation with a huge grin on their face.

Leia just has that quality to make anyone happy and her personality and charisma shine

through.

Leia has the most incredible can-do attitude and will try anything. She learnt to swim age 3

and then went on to learn to ski and surf age 7. She is a real doer.

She loves being part of the community and has lots of friends in her local school. She is part

of the Brownies too and often goes away from home on trips and doesn’t bat an eyelid.

She is a fun seeker through and through.
