Step Up For DOWN SYNDROME!!!

My family, and many other families in the Kansas City area, are gearing up and raising money for our annual Step Up For Down Syndrome walk.  This will be the third year for team Grant The Great. It is a day that all of us, graced by a loved one with Down Syndrome, get together, eat, play, and take a lap around Arrowhead Stadium, to raise money for the organization responsible for bringing us all together as a family. The organization responsible for sending warriors, mostly led by our amazing director, Amy Allison, into schools and businesses, and hospitals, etc..to educate and open minds about Down Syndrome. The organization that doesn't just send welcome baskets to parents, like Brian and I, whom were shocked to learn that our newborn had that extra chromosome, but personally delivers them and will sit and talk to them, and welcome them to the family.  The organization that counsels and supports parents who get a prenatal diagnosis of DS, and prepares them for their wonderful and "enhanced" bundle of joy!  The Down Syndrome Guild of Kansas City, is run by, supported by, and employs, real life angels!  Help us give back to these angels, so they can continue to empower more families, and open more minds!

Please take a moment and check out and support our DSG FAMILY!  http://secure.ezeventsolutions.com/fr/FDFDS/2012StepUp/GranttheGreat
