GO--GO--GO, Niah's Twinkle Toes!!!
Join the
team, "Niah's Twinkle Toes", by Sept
9!---you know you want to!!!
Niah
Sienna is over 4½ years old and enjoys dancing, swimming, books,
playing ball, drums, kitchen, dolls and did I mention dancing??? She
is not a complete angel, she annoys her brother, talks back to her
mother and destroys the house with her numerous activities. Sounds
like a typical 4½-year-old, right? Well, she is, she just
happens to have Down syndrome---she is more alike than different!
Niah rocked the fact
posters that lined the walk and shared important information about
individuals with Down syndrome last year. This year for every $150 we
raise by Sept 9 there will be a facts poster with Niah's photo (and we all know
how cute she is). Up to three signs and it all goes towards raising
awareness.
If
you can't come and be a part of the day, you can still register to be
a part of our team as a virtual walker. You'll still get a t-shirt and help spread the word about the value of individuals with Down syndrome all over the country.
Thank
you for supporting Niah Sienna and the Rief family---your past support has meant so much and has provided us with numerous educational events and family activities through DSAF Nebraska!!
---Gary, Renae,
Niah Sienna, and Cohen Rief

To know someone with Down syndrome is to appreciate the joys,
challenges, and grit that are part of their everyday life and the
lives of those who love them. To know someone with Down syndrome is
to understand that life is more than conventional measures of success. We
are optimistic and excited about Niah's future, we hope that you will
take the same path that we do and not underestimate her potential or
her understanding.
