WOW! She is very beautiful and brave more than any other. She looks like a healthy happy girl, who can make any of her dreams true. I admire her.

I was just scrolling through the photos with my 4-year old niece; she kept saying, "Princess, princess.." with each new pic. :)

How cool is that! I love it! Good for her. We could all take a lesson from her strength and perseverance. And you are such a great Mom!! I'm definitely going to check out Manifesta now ... ;)

She is so beautiful. Her beautiful, loving spirit translates so powerfully. This is true, genuine beauty.

this series of photos makes me really really happy for some reason :).

Well done young lady, you go show them all and make your dreams come true.

I think she is a wonderful person and a super model! Go Maddy.

She is incredibly pretty! I'd love to see more of her in the magazines instead of these miserable looking women who have to starve themselves to stay in the business!

What a beautiful girl and an amazing mom to teach her what all moms teach us all we can be and do anything we want to do no matter what don't let anything stand in your way, people that judge should be ashamed we are all special in our own way

Maddy, your rocking that extra chromosome, Thrive!!!!

She is a beautiful young lady, Most of these people are wonderful to have in your life, They show kindness like no other person can. If you are the parent of a child with downs syndrome, then consider yourself fortunate.

It's about time something like this happened. She is just as beautiful and amazing as any other model out there. Maybe even more.

Wow!! What a beautiful and courageous young lady....she should be a role model for not only anyone who is challenged but for any young adult who has a dream/life goal....Good for her...you have my total admiration! Keep up the positive impressive work young lady and before you know it your name will be a household name! <3

Incredible story!

She's lovely. I'm glad she got her dream fulfilled got to feel beautiful .... Which is what all us girls need everyone in a while.

She is very beautiful, it's great she was able to achieve her dream ^_^

God bless you guys, you are beautiful!

She is beautiful and inspiring!!! She will go far with her attitude!!!

Shes gorgeous...

Well of course she did, she's a beauty with a radiating smile. She's strong too...look at those guns.

For some reason all I can think about when I see these pics is the movie: 30 Days of Night

We are all blessed to have her showing us all what real beauty, grace, and humility looks like. She is beauty for the eyes and for the soul.

what a beauty. The innocence of her smile and eyes is really priceless. I could really see what her mother is saying, she has real beauty.

Gorgeous, didn't like all the photos in all honesty, but she looks incredible, particularly in the sports gear for Manifesta, really suits her form.

She is beautiful!!! Go Maddy

Beautiful ! Just beautiful ^_^

You go girl, show the world what real beauty is.!!

Her red hair against the pink is beautiful.

Great story... Wish her well, she is so beautiful..

It's so wonderful to see someone following their heart, regardless of the perceived limitations others might place on them & by following their dream anyway, prove that these limitations just don't exist. And I love that she has such an open, sweet face & a gentleness of character, behind which she so obviously has a resolve of steel...! You go girl & show them how it's done <3 xxx

She's not pretty at all, people are just sick of trying to show a fake tolerance. And be honest with yourself, this is not attractive, I just feel sorry for those Down-syndrome people, and the way society uses them.
