Down For Health

“Why Down For Health Exists: Supporting the Down Syndrome Community With Care and Purpose”

Blake Butler Season 1 Episode 8

In today’s episode, we share the “why” behind Down For Health—how it began, who it’s for, and the mission that drives everything we do.

At the center of this story is Nick, my brother. He is an actor, songwriter, martial artist, and a source of constant joy, resilience, and inspiration. Nick is the reason Down For Health exists.

We created this platform to support the Down syndrome community through:

  • Accessible health education that empowers parents and caregivers
  • Community support so no family has to navigate health questions alone
  • Improved health outcomes through functional, evidence-informed guidance

Our purpose is simple: help individuals with Down syndrome thrive by giving families the tools, knowledge, and confidence they deserve.

Join us as we share the origins, mission, and vision of Down For Health.
