Gifts : Mothers Reflect on How Children with Down Syndrome Enrich Their Lives

The Gifts Outreach program provides complimentary copies of Gifts to organizations which serve parents facing a new diagnosis of Down syndrome for their child, either prenatally or postnatally. We believe that the stories in the book provide a vital companionship and support for such parents.

Pre-Buddy Walk 2008



A year ago we were preparing for the huge IRL, the blow out of fun, inviting all those from the Tri21 board and celebrating Annette and her battle with cancer.

This year, we have our thoughts, our memories, and today is the beginning of the weekend celebration on a much, much smaller scale.

Lots of love to the Lammers, and to Lisa and her family, Annette's sister.

And here we go.

Day one of the big, smaller scale, Buddy Walk weekend.

Chris Burke and Nash. Nash was SO excited to have Corky come to his school. They are best friends, of course!

pictures..........and more dialogue after the big Buddy Walk weekend!

Great pictures! I'll never forget when Kennedy met Chris the first time, she was barely a year old but in the picture she has this look on her face like, "Holy crap! You're FAMOUS!" hahahaha
