And we're just going to talk about it and know this wonderful viral video that has been produced by a group of 50 moms 50 moms 50 kids one extra chromosome is the name of the video it's there in a dove or an owner of I suppose world don't syndrome Awareness Day which is today it's a really lovely lovely pieces clocked up hundreds and hundreds of thousands of views since it was posted and done in the style of James Corden scour pull karaoke which you're probably and familiar with moms and kids in the cars signing and singing along to the soul. Being. Around. You really have got to you've got to see it I mean I have to confess I usually click on to these things and I give about 15 seconds because I have got the concentration span of a knot but I sat and watched the whole saying it was just. Lovely and all these moms and gorgeous little kids smiling and singing and signing and Maddy is one of the moms in the video she joins me now good morning to you Mary good morning good morning I really enjoyed that video is lovely thank you so much. In my in my go above poll dark No it really. Well and I think so so tell us how you got involved in this and what is so what is all about. So I mourn and I don't blame Facebook support for children with Stonehenge I'm going to try to put in coat designer jeans and one of the ghettos and the support to go Kobe Carlists posted a video that had been done by a lady from Michael called saying hands now these are truly the Super just a little P.T.S. And introduction using Marketo insane language mostly for children you know the saying along cannot it I'm succession and most of her children use markets on the whole in the communication and psychedelia of the ending and one of way to sit on the spot you're in a car with her daughter saying I want to test song and basically have thought that that's exactly idea for us is a good to do and I talked to Cal you say this is a low came of awareness raising signing for what open funding they. So immediately everybody saw it a sickly idea to get funding and to make these a lot of awareness among strangers and finally on Facebook doing it to. The Wings of everybody that weren't involved of course. On You Tube video together and we'll send our clips and. One of the dots in the group doing a column it's all together and then I think when we all saw the finished top of the graph I can usually actually give you a good. Read and this is moms all across the U.K. a Call to a few key. Words is your daughter and us food and a half right and then how does. She love that I mean she is a marketer and her speeches prevail and that marked her and so doing Tara mean for most communication certainly husband go on it nationally. And she loves doing it she was singing hands P.V.T. In Scream keeps my daily basis in fact tone so I showed her the the video initially the 2nd one to do and she knew the whole song you know with an idea. To and really enjoyed my reality that you and she to me to stashed in all and. There you go out for not have you. Here and obviously today is World Down syndrome they also the think that it was released last week has mis clocked up quite a lot of years since census So what does this day mean to you. I think it I think is good I think it's a sad day for raising awareness I mean I think it's great it's a 2nd of global hang in I think it's to focus on on tickets for the rights and inclusion in the real people with stones and I think just to get the message out there that no one on that front really you know and people don't send include typical ways you can you can get your team of independently can get money that he can from equality with UNICEF degrees. I think things have changed dramatically stick out to education understand that we're going to have people spoke and a much they tell you hey this should be told and if it's very intervention and integration but lags behind of people's perceptions really and then I think but I don't send you helps to dispel the nests and just plain jane away or nationalist Whatever your own perceptions are not sure what we're new fighting for and when your daughter would be born with with the syndrome but did you have a particular idea of what this would be like and her. Being changed just through experience and then I mean I think the show and I asked him I was born for me after she was born we found I am I think I think yes I think I wouldn't say that I I mean I was aware that people and you could do thanks but I think as a Putin you have what do you think you had just going to face my childhood going to save your life and I think that was a that I could spend a lot of other people's opinion or I should be and you know all the other people's opinions so you shouldn't be able to do X. Y. Or say it and I think I think that what is it we had to buy our hills and friends haven't really come to fruition She's great you know she's very key combo she is not the same they are the intention she's probably more defined by the genetics she gets from family you know. So I mean she's young yet but does them have awareness of what other people think. No I don't think she really cheating on. His career and I go along. A. Matter much by extremely sushi who still only a lot and I don't know she's illegal and I really thought you're just too young but again I think when I want to have a higher nationally Lutie today definitely and I don't believe you have much of an O.E.M. . Yeah I think she's too young really yeah we've also got with Nicholas you know who is the founder of post of a boat down syndrome Good morning Nicola Good morning good morning. Did you miss being in the video your son so we both There's an E M D My son Thomas 13 yes 13 Leah 2 out probably wouldn't fancy a 13. Is interesting you know in terms of the discussions that we have surrounding. In recent years there has been a real shift on the one hand the has on a medical level been a focus on testing in ever more sophisticated testing and a real discussion around the ethics of that as to where that might inevitably lead to but on the other side of it and well your organization is positive about don't send room a very very changing discussion about what it is to to have Down syndrome what it what it means for a family and hope you know we should be perceiving this there over say fickle presidents enjoy your stay can you. Tell your colors to the mast in a club What made you want to make that declaration Wow I think unfortunately a lot of the information that's presented to expect and new parents is generally rather negative so there's a lot of focus on what the children won't be able to do you know unfortunately screenings discussed you know it's all or too often results are presented as a risk although we try to rest and call it the chance of having a baby with Down syndrome but also often tyrants. Faile are overwhelmed by a list of medical conditions and. Things that the child won't be able to do what we want to redress is to show the reality of life with Down's syndrome when my son Tom was born I was devastated I thought it was the end of our world. You know I've gone I've had private testing because I didn't want to child with Down's syndrome not become politically nasty person but because I'd been brought up in a society that talks about race that screens these children out pretty much in a majority of babies so a diagnosis on tonight will go on to be terminated and I genuinely think it's because of fear and ignorance so really we just wanted a Web site that people can go to whether they're considering screening that had a high chance diagnosis or in date have just had a little baby with Down Syndrome are and they can read about what our lives really do in Thailand can see yes there are some challenges but that's life that's parenting but most of us just leave pretty much pain every day lives you know he's in year right follicle secondary school. He hates extra help at school but that doesn't make him any less valued than any of the other students such as school. And in fact he brings a tremendous amount to his school because he you know you mention a doesn't give a flying fig about having the light coolest or you know trendy S. But both but he gets on with his life and he lives it to the full I had no idea when he was born I seem to be secretary to. That I'd have a child I wouldn't be able to communicate with. And we have a blast an absolute blast and the whole I love the hashtag you know this year wouldn't change a thing yeah. It's been nominal in a Twitter and Facebook are full of it because that's what to me while Down Syndrome day is a fantastic opportunity for parents to shout from the rooftops how proud. We all of our children and that we genuinely wouldn't change a thing the thing out of about our children the things that most of us a lot of us are working to address is society's attitudes and that's where we try and you know trying to make the change I mean you know there is a very powerful House tug wouldn't change a thing as you say is gained a lot of purchase or light in the club but you were on the scene of to say that at the time of day of told us both that was not the way that you felt you probably would have changed a thing. Point So what has changed you. Basically he's educated me. All the math you know I had a very outdated perception of Down Syndrome and he's actually taught me he's a famous you know quarter Tom has an older sister Emily he's the same as her you know he loves my husband and I you know. He has taken him a little longer to learn things. And actually does that really matter you know I've learned to value things more because I think taken nothing for granted so much now so he's being the greatest revelation and I've also run a support group for the last 12 years and about 60 families locally who have a child but I've said I'm the greatest educators and I think this is what will change is changing society's attitudes our children being schooled alongside other kids are people growing up knowing someone with Down Syndrome start young people you know working in their local community. Being on the telly being on you know River Island. All these things just start to journey of road some of those sort of outdated perceptions and and fears and sort of present life as pretty you know. Everyday humdrum. You know that was sad. Years ago told me. You know Emma is that younger What was the kind of conversation you know that were had with you around the time of birth did you feel the negativity we were we were lucky and met. Kim we came across same very poised if we had an amazing pediatrician. To visit our home not long after their marriage born on stage you know what you know she's a baby just like a baby you know dissing even very same cotillon family right can I take a strength because car just came on my 5 am and I think. I'm very back saying epic moment resort you walk. In and there's nothing there's nothing definite here and we all children of the. Name and we do anything to make a said wife try to Norm you know more normal than most people would believe and I think you just. Could I think be very very fortunate and experienced. So no with experience and with years what kind of conversation would you like routinely. That should be had with with with parents of children with Down syndrome and within the kind of wider society was the messages that you you want to because I guess I mean as you say is normal in routine but was anything there's always kind of potential pitfalls and problems that people need to be made aware of so you have to have a kind of Rhondda conversation but how would you like to see it been pitched. I think we just want to balance thing and I really I think I think. In the towns of their own children have been if it have not chosen a. Leveling and. Settling someone except playing a better value system just family family of T.J. It's more saying some small achievements in life. Is when to take things at the pace in 97 percent of people studied are happier for having the convention and 94 states. I think if you look at those factors they were just trying to get quality state in to balance. The perception will start statistic that I had never heard before today so it's a very good day to hear on the world tone syndrome day and Murray thank you very much indeed thanks also to Nicholas what we've got to go on this music. And you can hold a. 1000000000. Remembering sing. Sing terabytes upon terabytes of data. And if your brain is ready for another download.
