A local bridal boutique owner is urging others to listen to their bodies following her breast cancer diagnosis. Abbie Paklos, 34, took over The Wedding Dress in Portland in 2018, helping brides across the state find their dream dress, but in the midst of planning her own wedding, she discovered a lump in her breast. Paklos says her doctor assured her that she was young and the likelihood of this being breast cancer was rare, but she knew something was wrong and asked for a mammogram.

World Down Syndrome Day is celebrated on March 21 every year. It's been observed by the United Nations since 2012 and aims to help people better understand and support this community. There are several inclusive eateries in Connecticut, including Beanz & Co. in Avon. The founders, Kim Morrison and Noelle Alix, met more than 20 years ago at a group for parents of children with Down syndrome. Their daughters inspired them to open a coffee shop and cafe where everyone belongs.
