Buddy Walk & Family Festival 2025



It was an honor to once again be invited to join the Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress (MDSC) for their annual Buddy Walk & Family Festival at beautiful Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield.

This incredible event brings together families, friends, and supporters from across the Commonwealth to celebrate the MDSC's mission - to 'ensure individuals with Down syndrome in Massachusetts are valued, included, and given the opportunities to pursue fulfilling lives by providing information, networking opportunities, and advocacy for people with Down syndrome and their families, educators, health care professionals, and the community-at-large.'

I was deeply honored to be recognized on stage again this year and to stand alongside so many inspiring advocates and families who embody the spirit of community and determination.

Congratulations to the MDSC team, event organizers and voluntfor another wonderful event!
