Holly Richardson: Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Day!

Down Syndrome International encourages people all over the world to help raise awareness of what Down syndrome is, what it means to have Down syndrome, and how people with Down syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities. This year’s theme is “What I bring to my community.”

An adorable “carpool karaoke” video with 50 moms and their children with Down syndrome has gone viral. They lip sync and sign to Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” and it’s the cutest thing ever. They belong to a Facebook group called Designer Genes, a group for parents of children with Down syndrome born in 2013 and 2014.
