We have heard a lot of positive news lately about children and adults with Down Syndrome. It is unfortunate that they are met with so much negativity when parents find out that their children could have this issue. When you learn more about it, you begin to realize that a child with Down Syndrome can lead a long and fulfilling life, let alone the love that they bring to the family.
Recently, the possibilities for a person with Down Syndrome was highlighted in a woman who was just announced as the new brand ambassador for Benefit Cosmetics. Her name is Kate Grant and she is from Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland. Not only does she have this new, impressive, position she also won first place in the Teen Ultimate Beauty of the World Pageant and has made her TV debut on This Morning.
The news about Kate being signed as an ambassador for Benefit was well received. It was announced on their Instagram account and included a beautiful picture of Kate.
“Just wingin’ it! We are OBSESSED with the gorgeous @kategrantmodel,” shared Benefit in the photo caption.
