THE STORY:
Starting 2012, the United Nations adopted World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) held on 21 March (21/3) to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of chromosome 21 which causes the genetic condition Down syndrome.
The aim of the day is to raise awareness and understanding of a condition which affects approximately 1 in 800 births worldwide, and to promote the inherent rights of persons with Down syndrome to enjoy full and dignified lives and be active participants in their communities and society.
This Fundraiser will sponsor an event at the UN on 3/21/2012, for people with Down Syndrome around the world.
