17 Sep 06 Buddy Walk Talk
What a great day! What a fun weekend! Marley had a great time with her Aunt Angela who came to visit and join us at our first Buddy Walk. If it weren’t for Angela, we may not have found out about the event.
We were really amazed by the support we received from so many people from different aspects of our lives. You all contributed to us raising almost $600 to benefit national education, research and advocacy initiatives, as well as local programs for Down syndrome. Thank you to everyone. We shattered our initial goal of $100 and even blew past our revised goal of $500. You want to know the most incredible thing? We didn’t actively solicit funds. The only way people found out about our involvement in the event was through this site. Thanks for reading and for caring.
As promised, we’ve uploaded some photos to our Flickr page. We have also set up a Buddy Walk Photo Group on Flickr where we hope other walk participants will add their photos from across the country and beyond.

Well done, all of you! Love the photos from the walk, especially the one of Karyn with Nicole. We’re happy it was such a success.
Hi Everyone,
I love this site you have set up. Its so great that we can always know how you are doing! The Walk looks like a great event and all of you look so wonderful. You guys seem like you have lived in N.Y. forever. Hope you don’t like it too much. We miss you.
Hi to all of you. Looks like you realy tired Nicole out on the Buddy Walk. Love the picture in the tub. Marley looks really thirsty after her long walk. You all did so well. We’re proud of you. Our love to everyone.
