Paddle On for the Strudel

If you are looking for something fun to do on Saturday, come hang out at the 2nd annual Cherokee County Crazy Cayakers Invitational. Races start at 10 I guarantee that you will be glad you came!

Do you enjoy kayaking? Do you have an hour or two free on Thursday nights? Our kayak team is looking for a few more volunteers to help with our 5:00 group. I promise you won't regret it!

These are chromosomes. The one circled is chromosome 21 - note the three copies of the chromosome. This is Trisomy 21 also known as Down syndrome. You and I have just two copies of Chromosome 21. People with Down syndrome have 3 copies.

They look like socks, right? This is where the idea of Rock your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day was born from... simple!
On March 21st, World Down Syndrome Day, we celebrate and raise awareness by wearing our brightest, loudest socks.🧦

And why is WDSD held on March 21st? 21:3 (chromosome 21, 3 copies = 21st day of 3rd month of the year) easy to remember!
Don't forget to join in on the day! 💛💙🧦

If anyone has a copy of this past sunday's atlanta journal, I would love to have a copy. I heard there was a follow-up story about me in that edition.
