Here's a great article in today's Irish Independent. (pay wall, so PM for a copy) And it's not too late to help us get to New York. We're 90% there, thanks to so much good will from around the globe. gofund.me/b7df293c

Just 7 days until Fionn & Jonathan take Manhattan. And just 7% to reach our fundraising goal covering the expenses. Help Fionn play trad music on St Patrick's and give his #wdsd2025 UN speech by donating or sharing the campaign. gofund.me/b7df293c art: Fionnathan, 2017

We filmed this with Dylan from Galway Bay FM yesterday. He did a great job with the edit, didn't he?

Brilliant! (as usual) It fits very well with the theme that Fionn will address at the UN NYC: people with Down syndrome must have Choice and Control in the support services they are provided. Catch it live March 21st tinyurl.com/4k8atzjv #NoDecisionWithoutUs #WDSD2025

Pretty good title from this newspaper. What do you think?

Let the fun (and serious work) begin! #waitingforthebustotakeustotheairporttowaitfortheflighttotakeustoNewYorkCtiy

Happy St Patrick's Day, across the ages. This is how we start the day in New York.

Just met Sean Lane, Chairman of the @NYCStPatrick Parade. He gave us this cool pin.

Exactly one day away (this post should help with time zones) And Fionn speaks one hour in. worlddownsyndromeday.org

Our hotel room became a recording studio this morning, as we spoke with Gianna Volpe on WLIW FM. She played Frank Sinatra & Billie Holiday on either side. What could be better? We'll tell you: getting to announce that Fionn is now officially the TradFest Ambassador!

#WorldDownSyndromeDay2025 at the UN in NY starts tomorrow at 10am Eastern time (2pm Ireland) and Fionn will speak at 11am (3pm) for about 10 minutes. webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1l/k… share this with friends. #DownSyndrome National Down Syndrome Policy Group Decision Support Service Down Syndrome News 🌍 National Down Syndrome Society

Off to meet Ireland's UN Ambassador Fergal Mythen before my speech at the United Nations. You can watch the whole event from 10 until 5, NYC time, and catch my powerful words at 11. Livestream on the World Down Syndrome Day New York page. new hashtag! #noresearchwithoutus

Just touched down in cold & sunny Michigan, because, when we're this close, a visit with family is called for.

We had such a wonderful time visiting Ambassador Mythen and the team. Thank you for inviting us.

Well, you win some, you lose some. The more you try, the more you lose. Here's Fionn trying for the Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts Fellowship. According to their judges, he didn't measure up. Dissapointed, but not daunted. youtu.be/rNIPfoEdrnU
