Thank you for visiting the Squirmin' Shermans' fundraising page to help us raise money for and awareness of Down syndrome at the 2011 5th Annual Step Up for Down Syndrome 5k & Family Festival at Short Pump Town Center! 

Step Up for Down Syndrome- previously the Buddy Walk- was designed to promote acceptance, awareness and inclusion of people with Down syndrome (DS) and to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October.

You can join us for the 5k run & advocacy walk in the morning and stay to have fun with us at the family festival.   To walk OR run, just click on "Join this team" at the top of the page (under the Facebook & Twitter icons) and register!  Come on- you know you want to!  Hmm- 3.1 mile run or walk (with the option to make it shorter)?  Decisions, decisions!

If you can't join us for the fun, you can still help support the Squirmin' Shermans and the DSAGR by donating to the DSAGR through this page until the end of December, or by cash or check to any of us in person.  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts.   And don't forget to check with your boss about whether your company does matching gifts!

Many thanks for your support and love -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone else who you think might want to help!
