We invite YOU to participate by sharing a story about Down syndrome in your life.

A moment, if you will, in which Down syndrome impacted you greatly or maybe simply made you smile.

It is our hope that these stories will be read by just the right person at just the right time creating the narrative shifting impact this world needs.

It’s time to shift the narrative.
