THE EXTRA DASH: TWO FINISH LINES
After crossing the official 5K finish line, runners continue on the "Extra Dash" for Down syndrome, a quick sprint to the 2nd finish line! Why? Glad you asked. People with Down syndrome have a 3rd (or extra) copy of the 21st chromosome....that's why we celebrate on 3/21 with a little something extra!
March 21 is a globally recognized day of celebration! The United Nations declared March 21 as World Down Syndrome Day in 2011, with the first official observance in 2012. We are thrilled to be a part of this worldwide celebration that aims to educate the world about Down syndrome and celebrate the value that individuals with Down syndrome have in their communities around the world. Thanks for celebrating with us!
