Down Syndrome occurs with people who have an extra (3rd) Chromosome 21.
To remember this, 3/21 is the international day to mark Down Syndrome Awareness.
Please spare a thought about people with Down Syndrome and how you react to and treat them. Prior to becoming a (incredibly proud) father of a little girl with Down Syndrome I was probably one of the most ignorant and prejudiced people about the condition and people with the extra chromosome. My eyes have opened up completely and I am totally aware, as we all should be...
People with Down syndrome can live a happy life.
Together we can make it possible.
