Day 28 of Down Syndrome Awareness Month and each day throughout the month of October as we, at the Down Syndrome Association Of Tampa Bay #21Strong, share different facts throughout the month in order to educate and spread awareness. Here are more facts that you may not have known💙💛 People with Down syndrome are at greater risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease occurs in about 30% of people with Down syndrome in their 50s and about 50% of those in their 60s. Studies show the extra full or partial chromosome contributes to this increased risk of Alzheimer’s. Genes on chromosome 21 produce amyloid precursor protein, which plays an important role in the brain changes seen in Alzheimer’s patients💙💛 Knowledge is power💙💛 Craig Woodard Sr. Executive Director DSATB💙💛 @highlight #dsatb #21strong #craigscrew #downsyndromeawarenessmonth #downsyndrome #ThisAbility #theluckyfew

Today marks a career milestone for me in the banking and financial industry, two (2) decades of doing what I love and enjoy. I can emphatically say that; my passion, positivity, discipline, dedication and resilience are the most valuable personal assets that have made me grounded and rooted in the banking profession.   Quite a number of my ex- colleagues and industry peers had equal levels of ambition to stay and remain relevant in this noble profession but today, they all have different stories to tell. In the past 20 years, I have witnessed daunting situations and notable events that propelled me out of my all familiar comfort zones, beginning with the 2005 recapitalisation exercise in the Nigerian Banking Industry, whereby many financial institutions were forced to close shops due to either mergers or acquisitions and with its resultant effects of massive job losses, which abruptly ended the exciting and rewarding careers of some young and promising banking professionals. How about times; that banks had to either down size or right size, but in all these, I was spared by the mercy of God. Having come this far, I know that the sky is just the beginning.   I am open to meeting and networking with banking and financial industry professionals, who are passionate about what they do and are willing to share from their vast and extensive experiences.   Cheers to another decade.
