We're celebrating World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD) together! The Y is a place for ALL. We welcome and celebrate members of all backgrounds and abilities. WDSD is a global day of advocacy and awareness surrounding Down Syndrome and the inclusion and well-being of people with Down Syndrome.
This year we're inviting members and non-members of all ages to join us and walk 21 laps around the indoor track together. Mismatched and colorful socks are encouraged!
Why 21 laps?
The number 21 is symbolic of the 3 pairs of the 21st chromosome that are present in people with Down Syndrome.
Why socks?
Socks are used as a representation because the chromosomes actually look like mismatched socks. So wear your mismatched, colorful, and bright socks to celebrate with us!
