It is time for the 2008 Buddy Walk

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR NOVEMBER 15, 2008- BUDDY WALK OF CENTRAL ARIZONA!

Although we are getting a late start this year we are ready to start our fundraising efforts, full steam ahead. Many of you donated last year (xoxoxoxo's to all who did), and some of you are reading about this for the first time. Whom ever you are please take time to read, click on the link, and consider donating and/or joining us for the walk. It would be even better if you joined in as a team member to help in the fundraising efforts. By joining Cruz's team you help to send out emails, encourage others to donate or even participate. Every effort, whether it be monetary or by coming out and walking to spread the awareness, you do for Cruz and all people who have Down Syndrome is appreciated. Your donation, your time, and your effort is for a great cause. Money raised in this event is going to help make this organization stronger so that they can reach out to families and those with DS to help make things a bit easier. The DSNetwork organizes family events, educational seminars for parents, financial advice for future planning of our children with DS, medical research seminars, nutritional clinics, a web based chat group providing a wealth of information (I have learned things I would have never thought about asking). I could go on and on with a list of great things this group does. In the end they would not be able to provide such a service to the community without your support. On a personal level, people like Cruz benefit greatly when there are services like this one in existence. Acceptance and inclusion of all kids with DS has come a long way. These kids are doing great things and society is opening the doors for them. Please help to keep the opportunities coming and those doors open, spread the awareness and donate what you can (even change helps). As always your prayers are welcome, we love when you pray for our son!
