We support the awareness campaign of the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation: #UnNiñoComoYo (#UnChildLikeMe)

Fundación Jerome Lejeune

We are excited to do our bit and to raise awareness of the new Jérôme Lejeune Foundation. We are delighted to work for you and help you achieve your goals with the campaigns.

The Foundation is the legacy of Dr. Lejeune who discovered trisomy 21, the cause of Down's Syndrome. Its purpose is to provide comprehensive, scientifically based care for people with intellectual disabilities of genetic origin. To this end, it works on three pillars: promoting research, generating specialised medical care and defending the human dignity of the most vulnerable.

Within this framework of protecting the lives of the most vulnerable, in collaboration with Ana's family, who made a video for her cousin Lucía, a medical student for a project for her faculty, we wanted to help get her message across to the medical and scientific community in Spain and the rest of society. Because their work is key: from the way they give the diagnosis to parents before birth, to their work in medical care throughout their lives, to research to improve their quality of life, not staying out of clinical trials. 

Thus, with the aim of providing comprehensive and scientifically based care for people with intellectual disabilities of genetic origin, from the Jêróme Lejeune Foundation have launched the #UnNiñoComoYo campaign - help us spread the word!
