Step Up For Down Syndrome

It is that time again where we come together for Step Up for Down Syndrome previously known as The Buddy Walk........the walk is Saturday, October 8th....

We are amazed daily by our Janie...she is growing up so fast and is progressing in so many areas.  Her speech is emerging and the sound of her little voice finally being able to express herself through familiar words is priceless.  She reaches down into our hearts everyday and touches us in ways only she can.

Jane completed kindergarten at Webster elementary this past year and will continue there this fall as a BIG first grader.  We continue to be thankful for her health...our last visit to the cardiologist revealed that she still has the 3 holes in her heart and they are not expecting them to close on their own.    God knows what will ultimately need to be done & what is in store for Jane.  We are trusting the experts at U of M to guide us on this path.  Jane continues to grow and is NEVER low on energy.  Not only is she keeping up with rest of the bunch...at times they have trouble keeping up with her.  I am hoping you will share this blog with anyone you feel would be touched by Jane's story.  Her story follows in the blog posted below. 

We are hoping you will walk with us...we get credit for every walker on our team and it cost nothing to walk. It is a fun day for the entire family...please consider walking.

If you would like to donate...every dollar counts.  If everyone I sent this to donated 5 dollars it would make a HUGE impact in the lives of those who are touched by this cause.

Thanks for taking the time to read this....we are so grateful for your support.
