World Down Syndrome Day 2013

March 21st, is World Down Syndrome Day. This day was selected because Down syndrome or Trisomy 21 happens when there are 3 copies of the 21st chromosome. In addition to wearing your DSAF limited edition WDSD t-shirts, to celebrate and to help raise awareness please wear socks…BUT NOT JUST ANY SOCKS…brightly colored socks, mismatched socks, long socks, printed socks, 1 sock…maybe even 3 socks (or EXTRA socks) for 3 chromosomes. Just so long as they are socks which are on display and people will ask you about.   Then you can take the opportunity to tell others about your favorite individual with Down syndrome. 

Hope to see lots of brightly colored socks tomorrow!

Have Fun!
