We are so excited that you have landed on our page! Before Kennedy was born, I didn't personally know anyone with Down syndrome and I know many of you hadn't either. Joe and I are so grateful that we have found the Madison Area Down Syndrome Society community and that we are able to introduce people to individuals with Down syndrome and have them realize that we are all more alike than we are different. 

We are proud to be part of the Madison Area Down Syndrome Society's 18th Annual Down Syndrome Awareness Walk because it means so much to us and to our family and we hope that you join us!

People with Down syndrome have feelings, talents and dreams just like everyone and they deserve to be accepted and appreciated for who they are and what they contribute to our lives and our communities.

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 MADSS mailbox: PO Box 44796, Madison, WI 53744 (Just be sure to write 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.

We hope that you can join us on Sunday, September 29th, at Olin Park in Madison as part of our team. It's an incredible day of celebration with family, friends, and people who, like you, want to raise awareness, raise funds, and raise the hope of a better world for all people with Down syndrome. With your support and involvement, our goals of acceptance, inclusion and empowerment will become a reality!

With gratitude, 

Jen, Joe and Kennedy
