Buddy Walk

I have officially begun to plan the 1st Annual Fox Cities Buddy Walk! The date will be October 2nd, 2010. (To all my local friends and family: Team Logan will still be walking in the Aspiro Buddy Walk this September, and we will also be walking in the DSAW Walk in Milwaukee this year. I will be sending info by mail soon!)
I am excited, but nervous to take on the organization of a new walk! So far, I have been blessed with wonderful people to work with in the process. If anyone has experience in putting on a walk or just has some advice, I would love to hear from you! If you live in the area, I hope that you can be a part of our walk! I am looking forward to involving the Fox Cities in promoting acceptance and inclusion for people with Down syndrome and to raise funds for our local programs.
