Buddy Walk Update!

We are 1 week away and just 7 chromosomes ($70) from our fundraising goal!!   Just $10 per chromosome...do you want to help us meet our $470 goal??   Click on the link below  to sponsor a chromosome and check back for our Buddy Walk photos on October 5th.  :)

This is our first year to join the Down Syndrome Community of Puget Sound's 2014 Buddy Walk and I'm SUPER excited about it!  The Buddy Walk is a nation wide event used to celebrate those rocking an extra chromosome and to raise funds to support resources in their communities. Strangely enough, the Seattle area is scarce in it's resources for children & adults with Down syndrome (super sad!)...but we can help change that!  Our personal goals are threefold:

1. Welcome our non-chromosomaly enhanced friends into this amazing world of Down syndrome. If you are local & would like to walk with Isaac's Team 2014 (a little jaunt around the Seattle Center) please join us!  This is a GREAT way to immerse yourself into a field of love and joy and grace. The Buddy Walk is also a perfect way to introduce your young ones to God's heart for us all...we are not to look on the outside, but to the heart that cries out to Lord. We are ALL the same that way, no matter what our bodies & minds may be doing. 
2. Raise $470...$10 for everyone of my boy's amazing chromosomes. Each one perfectly created by our Heavenly Father. The amount may seem small, but it is meaningful and attainable. I do hope we exceed that goal!  You can donate through our Buddy Walk page HERE. 
3. Have fun! We are going to wear our Down syndrome shirts and dance to great music, eat lots of Pirate's Booty, give LOTS of hugs, and celebrate the beauty of Trisomy 21...because God does! 

If you would like to join us for the Seattle Buddy Walk on Sunday October 5th, please let us know.  If you would like to help us meet our $470 goal, you can do that too! (click the link above). No mater what, I would encourage you to consider who is in your social/work/church circle with Down syndrome or other special needs...how can you celebrate & support them to be as successful as they can be?  What about a child with Down syndrome that needs a forever home?? *hint hint*
