National Trisomy Awareness Month – March

 

Trisomy Awareness Month

 
 

Every March people come together to bring awareness and support to those with Trisomy conditions. While most people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, some have a condition that causes extra partial or full chromosomes in their cells. Those extra chromosomes can cause a range of health problems, learning difficulties as well as delays in physical development. Trisomy Awareness Month, observed in March raises awareness about trisomy conditions and the challenges these conditions may pose to individuals and families,  Don’t forget to light a candle during Trisomy Awareness Month.
