Thank you for visiting our fundraising page! This is our 3rd year fundraising for the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin's 22nd Annual Statewide Down Syndrome Awareness Walk and this day has come to mean so much to us and to our family. In the last two years our team has raised a combined total of $7409.75 for Down Syndrome awareness and support. Let's keep this gravy train rollin'! 

WHY DONATE? Like us, many of you have been personally touched by the lives of individuals with Down Syndrome. Aubrey has changed our lives for the better. There's a saying in the Down Syndrome community: We are "more ALIKE than different". This is why we raise awareness. Though Down Syndrome may be the first thing you think of when you think of Aubrey, she is so much more than her diagnosis! She adores her sister, has a funny sense of humor and has mastered the art of fake sneezing. She can make anyone smile with her singing and dancing and can charm the socks off of anyone willing to wave to her at the grocery store. 

This being said, we wouldn't be who we are without Down Syndrome in our lives! Aubrey has given us the grit to fight for equal access and opportunity. She has given us the grace to accept what is and celebrate every small milestone with big joy. She has allowed us to see more clearly that difference can be your strength, not your weakness. She has connected us with an army of people who have shown us more love than we could have ever imagined in our lives. THE A TEAM wouldn't be as strong without you!
