17th Annual Chippewa Valley Down Syndrome Awareness Walk 2023

Aila’s Amigos

September 24, 2023 10:00am - 2:30pm

Our Team Fundraising Page

Thank you for visiting Aila’s fundraising page! We are proud to be part of the 17th Annual DSAW-Chippewa Valley Down Syndrome Awareness Walk because it means so much to our family. I was referred to DSAW when we learned of Aila’s extra chromosome at the halfway point of my pregnancy.  DSAW connected me with their newly established prenatal diagnosis support group, and I began attending virtual meetings twice a month.  Some of you may know how important this was to help me – as you’ve met another mother and her son, who is just a month older than Aila.  I know that I will be friends with some of the mothers I’ve met for life.

Please consider supporting our team in a way that feels right for you. Each donation received will support individuals with Down syndrome. Our family has just started to increase our participation in the social events offered by the Chippewa Valley DSAW chapter, and it helps to not feel as alone and build our community.  Matt and I have also participated in virtual education sessions as we look to plan Aila’s future.

Donating through this website is simple, fast, and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. You can make your tax-deductible donation online, or if you would prefer, you can send your contribution to the DSAW Office: 11709 W Cleveland Ave, Suite 2, West Allis, WI 53227 (Consider writing our team name on the memo line so that we get credit for the donation!) Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! To sponsor us simply press Donate Now.

The Thies family sincerely thanks you for your support, and for reading this information.  You are welcome to forward this to anyone who you think might want to register to walk as part of our team or donate on Aila’s behalf.
