The 2013 Buddy Walk

2013 was our best Buddy Walk year yet!  We set our fundraising goal a little higher from last year, at $1,900 and we ended our fundraising efforts at $2,415!!!!!!!  That is AWESOME!  We even had 30 walkers the day of the Buddy Walk! 
 
I am so thrilled with all of the support that we were given this year!  It means SO much to me and my family that so many people support us as a family and support Sophia as an individual with Down syndrome.  The Buddy Walk is such a special time for our family.  It gives us a chance to raise awareness and to rally behind our little girl and all the other individuals with Down syndrome and show our love and support for this awesome community! 
 
I hope that you all know how grateful and appreciative we are to everyone who donated, bought a shirt, and to those of you who took time out of your Saturday to come all the way to Indianapolis and walk with us....it means the world to us!  All of you make this day even more special for us!  We love you all!! 
 
I know that our family is already looking forward to another great day in 2014, and I hope you are too!!!!!
