Thousand years carpool karaoke

Wouldn’t change a thing! 50 moms, 50 kids, 1 extra chromosome.

 

The carpool karaoke lip sync video in support of World Down Syndrome Day features 50 moms and their children singing along to Christina Perri’s multi-platinum selling track, “A Thousand Years”.

The moms are all part of a Facebook group known as “Designer Genes” created for parents who have a child with Down’s Syndrome born in 2013/14. They got together to show the world just how ordinary and fun life with the condition is and how they “Wouldn’t Change a Thing”.

The video was originally inspired by Singing Hands – a UK organisation who’s videos have helped many in the group learn Makaton for supporting their children’s communication development. Makaton is designed to help hearing people with learning or communication difficulties using signs, symbols alongside speech.

The heartwarming video features 50 moms with their precious 4-year-olds lip syncing and signing to “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri.
