Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome

I am reaching out to all of you who might happen across this page.

Last year, my beautiful niece Aubrey was born with Down Syndrome. The diagnosis brought a lot of different emotions to my family.

This year we are participating in the Buddy Walk to help raise money for the Down Syndrome Association of Orange County. With this money, the Down Syndrome Association of Orange County will help people with Down Syndrome reach their full potential, as well as provide activities, seminars, and support groups.

My niece was born with a blockage in her stomach, two holes in her heart, as well as the need for tubes in her ears. She has made great strides and is doing amazing since her surgeries. The DSAOC has helped my sister and her husband (as well as my whole family) through this time period by providing support and information that we should know.

My wish is this:
If you have the means, please support this wonderful and amazing organization by making a donation. The Buddy Walk is November 6th. Your donation is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
