Hey! Dylan here! October is coming up fast and guess what that means?!! Buddy Walk time!
The Buddy Walk is a multi-city advocacy walk in which people with Down syndrome invite "buddies" to walk with them. Buddies can be anyone from friends to teachers or coworkers to politicians. The goal of the Buddy Walk is to celebrate October, National Down Syndrome Awareness month, and promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome.
If you didn't know, there are 350,000 reasons why we walk for Down syndrome Awareness. And I am one of them. I also have many friends who will be participating in their Buddy Walks throughout the United States.
The Buddy Walk includes entertainment, prize give-aways, food and fun activities for the whole family. The Buddy Walk raised more than $35,000 in 2007 to provide support and services for local families. More than 225,000 people participate nationally each year and more than 1,500 people are expected to participate in the Tulsa Buddy Walk this year.
