“Marla and I met through Instagram over a year ago, and I always loved following her. She is so positive and brings a fantastic insight into parenting, advocating and working with individuals with Down Syndrome. I had the pleasure of meeting her in July of 2017 at a conference. Since then we have collaborated on different projects. Marla has been such a bright light in my world, she truly wants to see everyone succeed and she goes above and beyond. I feel blessed to not only call Marla a colleague in this field but also a friend. I can not recommend Marla enough as a speaker and an advocate.”

Marla Murasko is changing the way the world sees Down Syndrome. Her dedication as a Down syndrome advocate is admirable and her passionate work is starting a conversation our society has needed to have for quite some time. Her message: Individuals with Down syndrome, including her young son Jacob, are no different than everyone else.

Marla drives home her message of inclusion through her popular blog and numerous speaking engagements. She’s making sure she can be heard where it matters most; like Jacob’s 5th-grade class, Down Syndrome conferences, non-profit organizations and even speaking at the UN. Her first-hand experience as a mom with a child with Down syndrome creates a raw and honest perspective, yet her lighthearted nature is enough to force a smile and a laugh on even the most stoic readers. Marla’s moving story and powerful words has made her into a household name in the Down Syndrome community. As one of the 2017 WEGO Health Award winners, it’s been such a delight working with Marla and watching her educate and support the community. Her persistent enthusiasm, huge heart and seemingly never-ending drive is exactly why we consider her a top Patient Leader.

Cheers
