World Down Syndrome Day events for your diary: T 4321

World Down Syndrome Day 2009 is being celebrated on Saturday 21 March. The date signifies the fact Down syndrome is caused by nothing more than an extra chromosome - 3 copies of the 21st chromosome (or ‘3-21’).

Now in its third year, T4321 (or 'Tea for 3-21') is a simple way everyone in the community can mark this day and celebrate the achievements of people with Down syndrome as well as raise a few useful dollars to support children and adults with Down syndrome in achieving their full potential.

This year we invite you to again join in the celebrations with us by holding your own ‘T4321’ on or sometime around the 21st of March or by attending an event someone else has organised - look for them in your community too.

Here are details of the first T4321s notified to us so far:
