World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012.

Get involved in the #LotsOfSocks social campaign, or visit the WDSD website for other ideas how you can help raise awareness and fundraise for the cause!

The date for WDSD being the 21st day of the 3rd month, was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.
