WHY IS THE 21st A BIG DEAL?
It is World Down Syndrome Day! A person diagnosed with Down Syndrome is extra special because they have an extra copy on their 21st chromosome... hence, bringing awareness on the 21st!
Love how eloquently @kellyandkelso describe this day, “On this day, people with Down syndrome and those who live and work with them throughout the world organize and participate in activities and events to raise public awareness and create a single global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome. At Kelly and Kelso we believe that when you raise awareness for Down syndrome in your local community, you are not only raising awareness for your child, neighbor, or sibling… but you are raising awareness for individuals with Down syndrome who aren’t yet born.” 💜
