Story
The 21st day of March (the 3rd month of the year) was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome. Every year on March 21st, World Down Syndrome Day is observed to create awareness about Down syndrome.
With your help we want to make this World Down Syndrome Day, 21st March 2024, the biggest and best!
Whether you are taking part in our Sunflower Challenge, taking on our #21Challenge or organising your own community fundraiser - your support means so much to us and the work we do.
Every pound can help us make a positive impact on the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
