Question 1

Where did the name Three Arrows come from?

Accepted Answer

The three arrows symbol in the Down syndrome community represents the three copies of the 21st chromosome, which is the genetic cause of Down syndrome (Trisomy 21). The arrows symbolize rising up, progress and moving forward, reflecting the strength, resilience, and achievements of individuals with Down syndrome.

The design also conveys a sense of unity and support among families, friends, and advocates in the Down syndrome community. Many people use this symbol in tattoos, logos, and awareness campaigns to show their connection to and support for individuals with Down syndrome.

Danielle found it fitting to name her practice after her little guy who has shown her so much resilience, strength and love.
