Join Us + Help Us Reach Our Goal!

Join us on Sunday, October 5th for The Columbus Buddy Walk and/or help us reach our goal of $1,500 for Team Lucy!

We're raising money for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio!

Welcome to our 2025 Columbus Buddy Walk® team fundraising page! We can't wait to celebrate Lucy on Sunday, October 5! 

Lucy brings so much joy to each person she interacts with. Her funny and sweet personality and tenacious spirit are becoming more evident with each passing day. Recently, Lucy has started taking her first steps and is walking better by the day. Go, Lucy, go! We know God has big plans for Lucy and are grateful for each person who shows their love and support to our family! 

Our fundraising efforts will support local programs and services through the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO).  Our family has personally benefitted from they many resources and programming DSACO has to offer and we are confident they will continue to be a valuable partner to our family in the years to come.

Make your tax-deductible donation today and take the first step toward helping us achieve our goal. Thank you for your support!
