What began as a father's Day project, became quite the adventure when a group of dads thought they could give the mums a run for their money! They wanted to show that children with Down Syndrome are loved and accepted every bit as much by their dads and that, just like the mums, they “Wouldn’t Change a Thing”.
The group of fathers managed to enlist the help of Paramount Pictures, who had been supporters of the Wouldn't Change a Thing vision after seeing the "50 mum's" viral video last year.
As part of Viacommunity Day, a day of giving back during which all Viacom Companies, Paramount included, work in service of a charitable project, a team from Paramount enlisted help from their friends at Pinewood Studios and production company PMA to assist the Wouldn’t Change a Thing Dads in their quest.
Jamie McCallum, the project leader of the “Dads Don’t Count Chromosomes” project, said:
"We knew we’d never be able to match the mums’ ability to tug on the heart strings of the world so we went for some good-humoured competition instead! Dads who have children with additional needs are extremely under-represented and under-supported in this world and play a huge part in advocating for our children. We wanted to take the opportunity to shout from the rooftops how much our children are loved and welcome in our lives and how, just like the mums, we wouldn’t change a thing.”
With our kindest thanks to:
