We all adore Jon Snow, the great King who will unite the divided houses to fight against the White Walkers. But did you know that Kit Harrington epitomises Jon Snow in real life too. The British, GoT star, has been outspoken about his cousin Laurent who suffers from Down’s Syndrome.
Harrington leads a disability campaign with his cousin Laurent with the help of Mencap, a British organisation dedicated to help lessen the plight of the disabled. Or to be more specific, they work to support people with learning disability.
He made an emotional plea for people to educate themselves more about Down syndrome. The request comes at a time when there has been a rise in the hate crimes against disabled individuals in the USA and the UK. Harrington also talks about the hardships they face while trying to find employment and receiving poor quality healthcare.
Kit Harrington truly is the leader the world needs now.
