Story

People with Down syndrome are awesome! And they deserve to live a long and healthy life. Please help me support the Global Down Syndrome Foundation by donating to my World Down Syndrome Day fundraising page. People with Down syndrome are born with 3 copies of chromosome 21 instead of two. In the 1990s most countries started using those numbers 3-21 to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day.

GLOBAL provides transformative life-saving resources including medical care guidelines for people with Down syndrome. Those resources are being translated into many different languages and will make a huge difference!

GLOBAL also supports over 400 scientists and over 2,200 patients all working to elongate life and improve health outcomes.

Please consider a generous donation by 3-21-2024. It means a lot to me because I am wonderfully, fearfully, and beautifully created to be born with 3 copies of chromosome 21. This makes me to be a unique and a special young lady. Though I have some developmental delays starting from my childhood. however delay is not a denial to me and my family. I accomplish each milestone from time to time, and I am still taking all the steps with my mom's support until I reach the highest mountain. I took my first step at age 21 months and I graduated from High School when I was 21 years old. So, number "21" means a lot to me as well. I am an advocate for Global Down Syndrome Foundation research program and the researchers are doing a tremendous job to ensure someone like me lives a healthy long life.

Kindly support me and my other million friends with Down syndrome around the world. "Our lives worth a living"
