World Down Syndrome Day 2010

Have a cuppa for 3-21 !

World Down Syndrome Day 2010 is being celebrated on Sunday 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 fourth 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’ or other celebration on or sometime around the 21st of March.

It’s as simple as putting on a Morning or Afternoon Tea at your home, school, workplace, club, church, local park or wherever you please, inviting friends, colleagues, neighbours, etc, breaking open the tim tams, baking some scones, or asking your local bakery to donate some lammies... put on the kettle, and you’re away. Of course, there are many other ways you can celebrate as well ..... you can get plenty of inspiration by checking the website:
