Down Syndrome is a set of physical and mental traits caused by a gene problem that happens before birth. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features and mild to moderate intellectual disability. However, this doesn’t mean the person who suffers from it is completely powerless and incapable of doing things that normal humans do. Just take a look at Zach for example.

This young man has Down Syndrome, but he tries to overcome it in any way he can. In the video below, we get to see him perform a duet with his sister, Bekah. He drums while his sister plays the guitar and sings Dolly Parton’s “Jolene”. Wait till you see them performing together. It will warm your heart for sure.
