Teen With Down Syndrome Is Determined To Become A Model

Madeline Stuart decided recently that she would like to become a model, and her story is making the headlines and winning the hearts of people all over the world as this story has gone viral. There’s a reason,  though. Maddy has down syndrome.
“She really wants to change the way people discriminate against disability.”
She enjoys swimming, and dancing, but Maddy was frustrated by the extra weight she had holding her back. With some internal inspiration and the help of her mother, she wound up losing 44lbs (20kg). With her confidence and newly found energy, she was inspired to try modeling. She also, with her determination and confidence, soon found a supporter in the Living Dead label, who prides itself on signing models of diverse body types. (H/T: Original story and images found on Bored Panda, and was reworded slightly and reproduced for this blog.)
