Welcome! We are so excited about the 2025 Buddy Walk! This year our theme for the buddy walk is JOY! The Down syndrome community radiates joy in such an extraordinary way. If you know Ty, you know how much he loves to smile and dance. I'm convinced he is the happiest little person on earth. This will be our 2nd buddy walk and we are thrilled! The joy from this group is infectious and you will not want to miss out.

Ty will be 4 years old in a few weeks. We plan to make this an extra special celebration for his birthday and the buddy walk. We hope you will join in! 

We will have Ty’s Troop T-shirt's available for sale very soon so keep your eye out. We look forward to celebrating this EXTRA SPECIAL community with you!
