Celebrating World Down Syndrome Day on 3/21
KAMLOOPS — March 21 marks World Down Syndrome Day, which raises public awareness about what Down Syndrome is, as well as the joys and challenges of living with it.
Dave Ralph is the president of the Thompson Nicola Ups and Downs Society’s board of directors. He is also the father of a young man with Down Syndrome.
Ralph says while there are some challenges associated with raising a child with special needs there are far more opportunities available for people living with Down Syndrome than there used to be.
