I have participated in the Buddy Walk every year (except 1) since 2000, the year I was born. My mom and dad took me to the my first Buddy Walk when I was just 6 months old. This is a fun event and is something that is important to me.
The funds raised go to the Down Syndrome Center of Puget Sound (DSC), an organization that means a lot to me. The DSC's mission is to provide impactful programs and resources for individuals with Down syndrome and their families while evolving perceptions in the broader community. Funds raised at the Puget Sound Buddy Walk® allow them to continue to offer their many programs, events, and initiatives, and to add more to meet the needs of their members.
Thanks for helping me raise funds and I hope you will come join me on the walk too!
