Chloe Wants You to Wear Odd Socks to Celebrate World Down Syndrome Day

A five-year-old Scottish girl with Down Syndrome has captured the heart of millions with a short video of her asking people to wear odd socks on March 21 to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, ending her moment by blowing a big kiss at the camera. The footage uploaded on March 12 by her mother, Jade Lennon, has now been viewed over 10 million times on Facebook. Lennon said: “She’s practiced this so much!” Lennon shared the following moving message the following day, on March 13: "Getting a message from a pregnant woman in America who, after watching Chloe’s video, has decided to continue with her pregnancy (baby prenatally diagnosed with DS) and is no longer as scared as she first was." “Makes everything so [...] worthwhile. EXACTLY why we raise awareness.” On hearing that the BBC would be coming to their house to take pictures of her, Chloe’s response was “Oh sounds fun mum, easy peasy!” Credit: Jade Lennon via Storyful
