Radio interview with Dan & Tonya Powers

Raising Awareness About Down Syndrome

March 21st is ‘World Down Syndrome Day’, first established in 2012 in order to raise public awareness of Down syndrome. Down syndrome occurs when someone is born with an extra copy of ‘chromosome 21’ and it is not yet know why this syndrome occurs. As joyful as those with Down syndrome can be, they and their families need support in certain ways that can improve the lives of everyone impacted.


FOX’s Tonya J. Powers speaks with Dan Schreck, President and Chairman Jerome Lejeune Foundation USA, and his son Danny Schreck, who both share the latest advancements in research of the syndrome, improved medical and emotional support resources for families.
