Our Team Fundraising Page

Our hearts are bursting with excitement as we gear up for an unforgettable day at the DSAW 29th Annual Statewide Down Syndrome Awareness Walk! We're not just walking; we're celebrating our extraordinary daughter, Mia, who has filled our lives with an immeasurable amount of love, infectious laughter, and pure magic.

This isn't your average walk – it's a festival of fun, food, family, and friends, all coming together for an incredible cause. Imagine the energy as we cheer on amazing participants strutting down the red carpet, shining brighter than ever! Every single step Mia takes is a triumph, and this year is even more special because she's just started walking on her own – talk about a reason to celebrate!

We would be absolutely thrilled if you could join us for this heartwarming day as we unite to raise vital awareness and support for individuals with Down syndrome. After the walk, you and your family can enjoy a delightful afternoon exploring the zoo, making even more memories.

Come be a part of something truly special and help us make this year's walk the most memorable one yet for Mia and countless others!
