I have known Josie for most of my life and I have been lucky enough to get to know Ryan over the years :) What I know is that they are two of the most loving, caring, giving, and supportive people you will ever meet. I cannot imagine a couple greater equipped for this amazing journey.
 **If you cannot make it to the walk, please consider donating to the the DSAW. This organization has so many different important facets: research, advocacy, support, education, career transitioning, etc. Working in the public schools, I have seen first hand the wonderful things this organization does for the child, community, and for families. Thank you!!!!! --Amanda

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! Whether it's a friend, a family member, or neighbor down the street, we almost all know someone with Down syndrome. Like us, many of you have been personally touched by the lives of these individuals. We are proud to be part of the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin's 22nd Annual Statewide Down Syndrome Awareness Walk because it means so much to us and to our family.

People with Down syndrome are more ALIKE the rest of us than they are different. They have feelings, talents and dreams just like everyone. 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 DSAW Office: 11709 W Cleveland Ave, Suite 2, West Allis, WI 53227 (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.

Please also join us on Sunday, September 23rd, at the Milwaukee County Zoo 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!
