My personal message:

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page!

In honor of our wonderful son James our family will be participating in the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin's Annual Awareness Walk. It's an incredible day of celebration with family, friends and people who want to raise awareness, raise funds, and raise the hope of a better world for all people with Down syndrome.

People with Down syndrome are more LIKE the rest of us than they are different. They have feelings, talents and dreams just like everyone. They deserve to be accepted and appreciated for who they are and what they contribute to our lives and our communities. With your support and involvement, our goals of acceptance, inclusion and empowerment will become a reality!


Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. You can make your tax-deductible donation online, or if you would prefer, you can send your contribution to the address listed below. Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up!

Also, we would love for you to join us on Sunday, September 27th at the Milwaukee County Zoo and walk with us as part of Team James.
