This year the annual St. Paul Walk has a new name: Step Up For Down Syndrome (formerly Buddy Walk) and we want ya’ll to put on your boots and join us for a hootin’ good time!! The walk is September 20 and we are getting so very excited for another fun afternoon of music, food, and exercise. The walk will once again be held at Como Park-Midway Picnic Pavilion in St. Paul with check in beginning at 10:30 and the walk starting at noon.
This year we will have team bandanas and the Down syndrome association will once again have tee-shirts and lunches for everyone registered. The deadline for shirts has been placed early this year so I am asking your assistance in replying ASAP if you are planning to attend so that I can reserve a shirt for you. The following link will take you to my Google Spreadsheet where I am collecting the registration data: REGISTER HERE. I need to order the shirts next week (August 21).
We have also set up a First Giving page to offer further support for the Down Syndrome Association of MN. Their work is essential in providing awareness, advocacy, and support for individuals with Down syndrome and their families in Minnesota. Our page can be viewed HERE.









Hi Connie!
I tell you….Miss Elly just gets cuter and cuter! I sure wish we could have connected this year but it just didn’t work. We were in Minneapolis for a very short two days for our annual appointments.
We sure hope this find your entire family well and happy!

Hi Connie,
Another quick comment. I just loved Elly’s walk invite! You are so incredibly talented and creative. I can’t wait to see the walk pictures. We posted our Buddy Walk pictures on Gracie’s blog. Check them out if you haven’t yet.
God Bless,
