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 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

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.

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 !

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 Smiley

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 Smiley
