People with Down syndrome are awesome and they deserve to live a long and healthy life. Please help support the Global Down Syndrome Foundation by donating to the World Down Syndrome Day fundraising campaign.

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 our Adult Medical Care Guidelines for people with Down syndrome. Those resources are being translated into many different languages and new topics are currently being added. To help ensure these life-changing resources are kept up-to-date, please consider making a donation today!
