What kind of socks to wear on Down syndrome day?
On 21 March, choose some socks that are going to get noticed! They might be mismatched socks or your boldest and most colourful socks, whatever takes your fancy! The idea is to start a conversation, so when people ask you about your socks, you can tell them, “I'm wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome”.
Why do crazy socks represent Down syndrome?
So why odd socks? The socks are because they vaguely represent the shape of chromosomes apparently. Typically developing children have 2 chromosomes on chromosome number 21, but children diagnosed with Down's Syndrome have 3, and it's known as Trisomy 21.22
We have some great socks why not come in and have a look.
