Buddy Walk

Every year my friends and family participate in a city wide fundraiser called the Buddy Walk. This is a program set up by the National Downs Syndrome Society. I have two amazing kids in my church that have downs syndrome so my entire community goes and walks to show their support for the families. This year the walk was in October but I was not able to go because I was at school. I was very upset.

The walk is only one mile long. You can visit the website to find a walk coming up in your area. Anyone is welcome to join a walk, age doesn't matter! Also you do not have to know someone with downs syndrome to show your support. If you aren't able to walk, you can join the cheering section or even walk half of the time. If you want to really get involved, you can create your own walk by visiting the website and following the links.
