Happy World Down Syndrome Day! Today (and every day!), we celebrate people with Down syndrome.
World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated annually on March 21 because of the 3 copies of the 21st chromosome that people with Down syndrome have.
The World Down Syndrome Day website created by Down Syndrome International shares more information about this important day. We hope you find a special way to celebrate. If you are looking for some ideas, check out our list of Healthy Ways to Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day.
