ICYMI: Annual Buddy Walk & Harvest Fair Raises Money For Down Syndrome Programs

From Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress:

WESTBOROUGH, MA—On Sunday September 18, 2016, Matt, Kate, Will, and Nate Stockwell will join hundreds of champions of the Down syndrome community at Lake Chauncy & Fields for the MDSC’s 4th Annual Buddy Walk & Harvest Fair.

The event is expected to bring together about 600 people, including individuals with Down syndrome, family members and friends throughout central Massachusetts. The event will raise both awareness about Down syndrome and critical funds to support programs and advocacy.

The Stockwell family will be celebrating their loved one with Down syndrome. Will is a happy and energetic two year old who loves to keep his parents on their toes. He has just mastered the art of walking and we are so excited to see him participate in his (and our) first Buddy Walk!

Registration includes walk festivities, event t-shirt, and light refreshments. The Buddy Walk & Harvest Fair is a celebration that includes live music, children's activities, a one-mile pledge walk, family entertainment, networking opportunities with local disability organizations, and a chance to talk to MDSC Self-Advocate Ambassadors.

This year we are walking with our theme, “iBelieve” in mind. We will carry this theme of empowerment through our three Buddy Walks around the state.
