Wouldn't Change It For The World

She says she just wants to make sure parents realize that Down Syndrome isn't a death sentence, which is an issue that really hits home for her.

Children diagnosed with Down Syndrome can live long happy lives and their families can thrive right alongside of them.

A Little History

Down Syndrome occurs when a baby has an extra chromosome in their body.

There are different variations of Down Syndrome and they all come with their own special circumstances and complications. Some cases are debilitating and others are much more easy to deal with. It all just depends on which variation the child is diagnosed with.

Manageable Symptoms, Happy Hearts

Even though Down Syndrome causes physical and mental growth to be stunted, many of those diagnosed with the condition are benefiting from the extensive research being conducted around the world. 

They are living much longer and have the ability to truly enjoy their lives.

Dina Is Julie's True Guardian Angel

Despite the fact that Julie's sister Dina passed away over four years ago from congestive heart failure, a condition that people with Down Syndrome frequently struggle with, Julie still remembers her fondly.

Best Friends For Life

Julie explains that Dina was "the best thing that could have happened to our family."

Many other parents with Down Syndrome children feel similarly. Even though the condition comes with its own set of challenges, the family can rally together and become even closer.

As Happy As A Clam

Many of these children are entered into normal classrooms, and play, romp and argue just like any other kid their age.
