Learning Disability Week

1.4 million people in the UK have a Learning Disability. 1.4 million people in the UK aren't able to have their voices heard in society today. This is why i'm lending them my voice for 24 hours. I'm doing a sponsored silence for Mencap and would really appreciate if people could sponsor me (anyone who knows me knows this is a massive personal challenge and something close to my heart). I know you dont know me but this is not about me, its about the many beautiful people in the UK living with a Learning Disability, unable to achieve the same oppurtunities as people without a Learning Disability due to the stigma attached to them. The link is below and however much you give is appreciated, you can anonymously donate so dont be ashamed of the amount you donate, just remember you're changing someones life! :) https://www.justgiving.com/Cayleigh-Moore1 Thank you :)
