The Buddy Walk® was created by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to nearly 300 walks planned for 2010 worldwide. In 2009, more than $10 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
Annual UDSF Buddy Walks will be held throughout the state during the month September. Funds raised are used to improve the lives in individuals with Down syndrome. We invite everyone to walk for our children, our family members, our neighbors, and our friends.
We are warming up and stretching out at the Evans' home :)
Thank you for supporting and loving our Max... we feel confident when we say
"There is nothing DOWN about Max!"
