Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!  If you are here, it's because you've been touched by the life of Bear and are an important person in our lives.  We cannot thank you enough for the love and support you've shown us over the past year and a half, and we cannot express the unimaginable gratitude we feel toward our family and friends.  We have come such a long way in a year and a half.  Where I (Morgan) imagined a life of sadness and loss, one of sheer joy and accomplishment has filled it.  Daily we are reminded of the blessing of children, especially one like Bear who brings joy to everyone he meets.

The Buddy Walk is a national event put on locally through state organizations, ours being Down Syndrome Indiana (DSI).   We want to rally around Bear and help raise money for DSI, the organization that advocates for children and individuals with Down syndrome.  DSI provides so much support to parents, families, and individuals with Down syndrome, and this is our way to give back and ensure that Bear and his peers will have a bright future in the schools and workplace.  

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support 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!

With full hearts,

Dan, Morgan, Bear, and Lila
