The walk helps to raise funds for the Michiana Down Syndrome Family Support and Advocacy Group. This group welcomed our family when we moved to MI and their goal is to improve the lives of individuals with Down syndrome. They provide education, awareness, medical need assistance, and family support to families throughout Michiana and the surrounding areas.

Please take time to check out Ella’s donation website where you can donate with your credit cards, or Kirk and I are happy to accept cash and checks (made out to Michiana Buddy Walk).

We know that there a lot of charities out there asking for your money so please know that if all you can send us are your prayers that we thank you for those as well!
