Will you be wearing odd socks on March 21st for World Down Syndrome Awareness Day (WSDS)?

You can you wear official #LotsOfSocks socks purchased from your National Down syndrome organisation or from Down Syndrome International, or brightly colored long socks, printed socks, 1 sock… even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes. If you do not normally wear socks, then wear them. And why stop at socks? Wear #LotsOfSocks t-shirts, WDSD t-shirts and other brightly colored clothing.

Wear whatever you want, but the point is to wear something that will draw attention and people will ask about. When asked why you are wearing them, tell them all about WDSD. It is easy to do. So whether you are at home, school, college, university, work, play, travel, holiday or anywhere, join in!

Take a photo of your mismatched socks and share it on social media with these tags to help create awareness: #LotsOfSocks #WDSD18
