A young man is living proof that having Down syndrome doesn’t have to be an unstoppable barrier to achieving one’s dreams. Armed with a love of food and a thirst for success, one entrepreneur has launched a BBQ sauce business. He is even donating part of his profits towards helping others with Down syndrome pursue higher education.
For Matthew Hessburg, a 23-year-old from Grosse Pointe Park in Michigan, cooking has always been a passion. “From an early age, my three brothers and I have always had a strong relationship with food. We have always loved cooking, grilling, baking, or our favorite: eating,” he explained in an Instagram post.
