Ferris' 1st Buddy Walk Fundraiser

[AuroraJae]

Hi Everyone!!

I just wanted to give a little more information about the Buddy Walk. October is Down Syndrome Awareness month and we will be participating in Ferris' first of many Buddy Walks! The purpose of the fundraiser is to raise money and awareness for our local DS association, the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida.

We truly appreciate any donations made in his honor because all proceeds will benefit Ferris and all of his friends! 100% of the money collected will go to the DSACF. Here is the link to donate: http://www.firstgiving.com/ferrismartin

We will be walking with pride because of our amazing son! We already have some definite Buddies, Corey's parents, Pete, and Nanny Anna! We totally understand that most of you cannot be here for the walk and will be with us in spirit!

Thanks for supporting Ferris' Dollars for Down's! The entire DIS community has been super supportive and loving since the annoucement of my pregnancy and since his birth. It means a great deal to us! Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts!

Thanks for giving us DISers the opportunity to contribute to this great cause in Ferris' name! My oldest brother had special needs, so I know how wonderful it is to have a local community support group. In our city, the Down Syndrome group is called "Designer Genes"!

 

[AuroraJae]

I'll get some more detailed info about where and how to get there soon!
