My personal message:

  Dylan's Day           We're really excited about our first Buddy Walk!  This will be a day all about Dylan and the other amazing souls just like her.  Down Syndrome is something that is still grossly misunderstood by most in our society, and helping us help this organization can change that.  We appreciate any help you choose to give!

  We have many wonderful friends and family members who are going to walk with us - but we'd love to have you to!  If you'd like to join our team, email me at shannonmccabe4@yahoo.com to join us.  After the walk there's lunch, music, games, face painting, and tons of fun.

  To read a quick fact sheet on the Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota go to  http://www.dsamn.org/Files/file/pdfs/info%20sheet%20for%20BW08%20mailing.pdf 

  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support-- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

UPDATE: Aug. 4th:  For those of you have already donated or visited the page before, you may have noticed that we've raised our 'target' twice already!  We've been blessed with such a tremendous outpour of support already, we thought we'd raise our goal and see how high we can go!  Thank you to everyone - Matt and I are truly speechless at everyone's generosity. 

Sept. 21st - Well we did it!!  We have our first Buddy Walk under our belts and it was amazing!  The weather was beautiful, everyone was excited, and there were a ton of people there.  I'm still trying to process all of it - but to anyone who's checking back here and reading this, Matt and I just want to say 'thank-you' again.  It's hard to describe how cool it was to see so many people supporting those they love that have Down syndrome.  Every penny we raised is going to help make the world a better place for all of us.  We should all feel really good about what we've done!  You'll be hearing from us soon, with photos attatched!  Thanks again...

With Love- Matt and Shannon
