The lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, Nicole Scherzinger is inspired by her aunt who has Down syndrome. She plans to start a musical camp for kids with Down syndrome.
The 31-year old singer reveals, "I grew up with my aunt who is actually younger than me because my grandmother had her at an older age and she has Down syndrome. She has always had a special place in my heart and is such a wonderful addition to our family. I used to tell my girls in the Pussycat Dolls that I would have my own musical camp or school where I would teach people with special disabilities or Down syndrome."
Scherzinger also wants to use the camp to raise awareness and funds for people with Down syndrome.
Nicole Scherzinger’s boyfriend, race car driver Lewis Hamilton, also grew up with a handicapped person. His brother, Nicolas, suffers from cerebral palsy. Hamilton says his brother motivates him a lot in life.
