Last year was our first year walking for DSAMN'S Step Up For Down Syndrome. We had a great time and can't wait to do it again! And we would love to have people join us. The walk will take place September 22nd at Lake Como in St Paul. Pre walk festivites start at 10am and the walk itself starts at noon.
Henry is now 2 and his personality shines through more and more every day. We can't imagine our family without him! He is such a happy, mischievous, cuddly, fun little man who loves to jump in the middle of anything his big sisters are doing. He loves making new friends and waving to everyone at Target. Most of all, nothing can stop Henry from taking a good afternoon nap.
The Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota is a statewide nonprofit organization with the mission to empower individuals and their families, to create community, and to celebrate the abilities of people with Down syndrome. Our Annual STEP UP FOR DOWN SYNDROME walk is our largest awareness event and fundraiser. Over 5,000 people join us in person at Como Park every September to raise awareness, celebrate abilities, and create community.
The money raised through the personal campaigns of our AWESOME TEAM CAPTAINS & FAMILIES leading up to this event provide the funding to deliver our mission and programming throughout the year!
