Episode 19 - First Woman with Down Syndrome to Run the Austin Half Marathon, Kayleigh Williamson and her mom Sandy

As we approach World Down Syndrome Day at the end of this week (3/21/21), we are joined by the first woman with Down Syndrome to complete the Austin Half Marathon, Kayleigh WIlliamson and her mother Sandy. Since then, Kayleigh has completed many half marathons and will attempt her first full marathon this year. She is also the author of the children’s book, It’s cool to be me.

In our conversation we discuss her health and life before becoming a running athlete, the people in her life that continue to motivate her toward her goals, and Sandy offers advise for parents supporting and raising their person with Down Syndrome.
