Hello All!  It's that time of year for our annual STEP UP for Down Syndrome walk!  I am so excited to tell you what I have been doing over the past year.  I just turned 2 years old!  I'm getting to be a big boy!  I am still working hard every day with my therapists.  I can crawl up the stairs & sit up all by myself!  I am learning sign language, to drink from a cup, & how to stand.  My mommy says it won't be long & I'll be walking.  I love listening & dancing to music.  I also like to play hide n' seek & swim with my big brother, Will.

I would like to invite you to join my family as we STEP UP for Down Syndrome & celebrate individuals with Down Syndrome & their families.  If you can't walk with us, please consider making a donation on my behalf.

Thank you for your support over the past 2 years.  The funds raised by this event helps families like mine by providing local educational conferences & workshops, teacher training, new parent information, stipends to national conferences, and much, much more.

Please remember I am more alike than different!
