The Lucky Few Buddy Walk, DSAA Kearney

We were so fortunate to be able to attend the Lucky Few Buddy Walk, hosted by DSAA NE Kearney.
The event was held at the old Kearney High School which is now First Baptist Church.  It was a wonderful place for the event and the gym was spacious enough to hold everyone comfortably. 
We enjoyed the music, photo booth, cotton candy, and yummy food.  Ben enjoyed the gluten free pizza that we picked up from Flippin Sweet on the way there.  It was fun to go to an event and be able to enjoy the party!  Thank you Suzanne, Kiffany, Beth and Lindsay. 




Lincoln Star City Buddy Walk!

Thank you to Down Syndrome Advocates in Action for supporting all families who have a loved one with Down syndrome in Nebraska.  Thank you also to all the wonderful volunteers for helping make the event such a success.  This is the first year I got to actually walk at the walk and was thankful to have volunteer photographers to help us capture the day.  Each year the Buddy Walk has doubled in size and we are grateful for everyone who comes out to support the local Down syndrome community so that we can make sure there are no families left behind.  
Thank you also to Shauna and Deb for helping to make this event possible!  Every individual with Down syndrome deserves to be celebrated and everyone is welcome at DSAA NE! 


Thank you to all our friends and family who helped Ben's Brigade earn 3rd place in fundraising! Thank you also to everyone who purchased necklaces, earring, or EM Sports photos.  Ben was so proud of the medal he received.
