Aimed at raising awareness of the genetic disorder, the walkathon attracted more 1,500 participants and was a festive family occasion with face painting, balloons, free ice cream and water among the features of the afternoon.

According to General Manager of the Park Regis Kris Kin Hotel Dubai, Scott Butcher, the walkathon is just one of the CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiatives at the hotel: “We are delighted our staff gave up their free time to help those less fortunate, the children and young people with Down Syndrome.
