After discovering dancing, fearless Francesca would strut her stuff at every opportunity 💃

Mum Annemarie added: ‘She has always enjoyed dancing.

‘Her real love of dancing started in primary school and since then she has performed for local festivals all around Cornwall to raise the profile of Down’s syndrome and show people what they are actually capable of.’The Goffs have always tried to spread awareness of Down’s Syndrome – but said there is a lot more to be done.

Francesca’s dad Frank said: ‘People always ask the question “is life tough having a child with Down’s syndrome?” and my answer is always the same and that is that it is like having any other child.‘But the more people get out there about Down’s syndrome the less afraid of it people are.’Sister Cecily, who went to the same school as Francesca, is also proud of her as she was often left out with her peers during her studies.

‘It is important that that is exposed and shown as normal and it’s something that needs to be focused on more.’
