Listen: Kildare Branch Of Down Syndrome Ireland Speak On 'Rock Your Socks' Campaign

Chairperson Cassandra Ryan spoke on this morning's Kildare Today programme to highlight World Down Syndrome Day

Speaking on this morning's Kildare Today programme, the Kildare branch of Down Syndrome Ireland Chairperson Cassandra Ryan highlighted their campaign for World Down Syndrome Day. 

This year's theme was 'Rock Your Socks', in which people are urged to wear mismatched, funky or bright socks to celebrate. 

The theme is to celebrate and spread awareness, with the socks representing the 21st chromosome that look like colourful socks in those with down syndrome.  

The Kildare branch now has 220 families throughout the Kildare area involved, and offer practical, professional and clinical support as well as social and educational activities.

The Kildare branch of Down Syndrome Ireland use all donations sent to them on their facility, and you can donate here.
