CENTERVILLE, Utah — October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and one Utah family is on a mission to help their son.“We have three little boys: Cyrus, Jericho and Apollo. Cyrus is our oldest and he is seven,” said Morgan Pilcher, sitting in their living room with the older boys jumping on the sofa next to her.
“Cyrus runs away," Morgan explained."We’ll be in a parking lot and he’ll get out of the car and just take off, or in the store and he’ll take off and run out the door, into a busy parking lot. Or here, he’ll just run into the street."“There’s so much good that comes with Down syndrome,” said Morgan. “But there’s also a mental and physical, an emotional toll that it can take.
“David has been doing oil and brake changes on cars by appointment at our house, and all the funds that we get from that we’ve been collecting for our fundraiser," Morgan said.Mike Carlson founded Golden Healer Service Dogs, a local nonprofit that helps get people the kind of service dogs they need.
