It's BUDDY WALK time again!!! Retta is practicing her parade smile and wave!
We'd LOVE for you to join us for a "rainbow breakfast" and celebratory lap around Heroes Stadium Saturday, September 28th!
Bright and early!
And to our surprise...a picture of Retta and Szymon arrived in the mail a few weeks ago!
Yes! A picture of Retta and Szymon from last years Buddy Walk made the front of the 2013 Buddy Walk Brochure!
The Buddy Walk is a national event, however funds raised for the DSAST Buddy Walk benefit people with Down syndrome and their families through programs and services provided in the San Antonio area!
Just this last year Retta was able to participate in a sign language and music class and socialize with her fellow peers at various events and outings including the Children's Museum and Morgans Wonderland! Funds raised also go to supporting national leadership in education, research and advocacy. The world of Down syndrome research is currently making AMAZING strides (specifically with cognition research)!!! However funding is needed to keep these projects moving forward. So all together, with these supports and resources, individuals with Down syndrome and their families are leading healthier, happier, more self-sufficient lives!
