Title: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: pumbaa on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 21:46:24 Its tomorrow (Thursday 21st March 2013). Theme is odd socks. So tomorrow, when you get dressed for school, work or whatever (even tans is wearing an odd wank sock), raise awareness of the condition and promote positivity.
No obligation, but if you would like to donate some money (no minimum amount), please use this link http://www.justgiving.com/ups-and-downs (http://www.justgiving.com/ups-and-downs) to the Ups and Downs South West Just Giving page * * Ups and Downs South West support children and families in the South West (obviously), including Wiltshire, in a whole plethora of ways. And so, a gratuitous grovelling photo https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/389479_10151281150303894_1733290000_n.jpg Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 21:50:19 I can confirm pumbaa's boy is both ace and skill and I will be wearing odd socks in light of his (and others) awesomeness.

Not to mention a cheeky mischievous little shit.....thanks! Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: BruceChatwin on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 22:03:26 What if we generally have on odd socks anyway? Should I commemorate it by putting in the effort to find a matching pair?
Nice idea btw. Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: pumbaa on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 22:07:02 If you want :D
Not my idea I assure you https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/581923_10151453568751390_80084792_n.jpg Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Bennett on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 22:35:24 booo our place doesn't appear to know about this. i'll be wearing odd socks and chucking a few quid tomorrow (hopefully and conveniently,payday!)
Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, 22:52:55 Likewise. Great photo, by the way.
Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Amir on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 06:29:32 I've just arrived in Cambodia where a family we are helping out have a daughter(about 12 years old at a guess) who has down syndrome. She's never spoken and I have to admit I know very little about the symptoms, will have to read up.
Good luck with raising awareness/funds, cool picture too. I'd wear odd socks but I don't think they'd go with my flip-flops ! Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Ginginho on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 07:16:00 I'm wearing odd socks today, and have made a small donation also.
Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Bewster on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 09:02:28 I've got odd socks on - good cause
And donated. Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: pauld on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 09:04:23 I'd forgotten about this but now thanks to the wonders of the TEF I've just changed into odd socks and now I'm off to work to wave my ankles at people in an attention-seeking fashion :)
Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 09:14:33 I forgot to ask on Tuesday mate.....have you let him anywhere near the football I gave you yet? :D
Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: WR5 on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 09:36:58 Odd Socks .... Check
Donation ....Check Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Ginginho on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 09:41:43 I must get some flamboyant socks, as although i'm wearing odd socks today, it isn't obvious as they're both black but with different pictures. One has Stewie Griffin the other has STFC logo (both pairs were Christmas presents I might add).
All of my socks seem to be black, navy or dark grey! It's the though that counts anyway :) Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: Berniman on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 09:56:41 I'm wearing odd socks today....
I wear odd socks everyday... At least I am doing it for a reason today :) Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: DMR on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 13:48:10 Stewie Griffin www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kKRwCr0HK0 Title: Re: World Down Syndrome Day 2013 Post by: pumbaa on Thursday, March 21, 2013, 20:56:32 Thanks all that donated and supported this cause, its really very much appreciated.
