Donations for this event will continue to be accepted through the end of the year. To Donate to our Team, please click Donate above. Thank you for supporting our team and the Tarrant County Buddy Walk !!!
Hello Everyone! Boston's Entourage is back again and ready to keep the spot for first place. This will be our second year to participate in the Buddy Walk. Boston started walking at the Buddy Walk last year and was able to walk across the finish line on her own! For those of you that were with us last year, you know this is an event that you don't want to miss.
For those of you who don't know Boston Marie, she has the ability to change a person right before their own eyes. She is the most magical little girl you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. Being born 2 ½ months early, she just couldn't wait to show us what true happiness really was. Whether she is running a fever or recovering from one of her 3 surgeries, her beaming smile always shines through.
We have created a team in honor of all children with Down syndrome. Last year we were the top fundraising team raising over $8,500 with over 60 walkers on our team alone!!! We not only want to reach that goal again, we want to surpass it! All donations go to the Down Syndrome Partnership of Tarrant County which in turn provides many activities and resources for Boston as she grows up.
If you would like to walk with us on October 15th, please Register by clicking the link above. Registration is $15 per person (which counts towards our team goal). Event T-Shirts are guaranteed for registrations received by October 2nd.
Thanks in advance,
Boston and Mommy

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.... Leave the rest to God."
The Buddy Walkr was developed 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 2011 worldwide. In 2010, more than $11.2 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy and public awareness initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
Proceeds go to the DSPTC and the Green Oaks School.
