The organisers encourage those wearing odd socks to tell curious people “I’m wearing them to raise awareness of Down syndrome.” From there, participants can tell them some important or interesting facts about the genetic disorder.

The right to life is uncompromisable and is an exercise of our free will in defense of the most vulnerable. Without being able to express it at the time, I somehow knew Gabriel’s Down syndrome was only a small part of him, it was not his identity. However, my mom’s response shows that a special-needs diagnosis does not need to be a moment of grief, but rather a celebration of life. The fullness of Gabriel’s life is measured not by his external abilities, but by his eternal value as a child of God. Not knowing what Down syndrome was at the time, I can now undoubtedly say that my knowledge of it would not have mattered. I believe that we are at a moment of grace in this country where we can call more profound attention to human life with special needs, and I think the personal stories and the faces attached to the diagnosis are how hearts will be changed.
