Massachusetts Down Syndrome Walk

On October 11, 2015, I will be participating in the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress’ Buddy Walk in Wakefield in honor of my son, Noah.  This walk takes place each year in Massachusetts to support the more than 5,000 families who have a member with Down Syndrome in the Commonwealth.

With the money raised, the MDSC can continue to fund important programs and services in the areas of education, research, and advocacy for those with Down Syndrome.

If you would like to make a donation, an account has been set up at the credit union under “Downey Buddy Walk.”  Checks should be made out to the ‘MDSC’ and can be given to me.  Donations can also be made on-line at http://events.mdsc.org/site/TR?fr_id=1060&pg=entry.  Upon entering the site, scroll down and on the left type in my name under ‘Search Participants’ or below that enter ‘Team Noah’.

If you'd like to join our team and help raise money for the MDSC, you can go to the above website and click on ‘Join a Team’.  Our team name is ‘Team Noah.’

Thank you for your support and generosity.
