Did you know October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month? Property Management Assistant, Sharon Cumens, and her family participated in The Buddy Walk in honor of her grandson Trent Watkins who was born with Down Syndrome. The walk promotes acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. The Buddy Walk has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to nearly 250 walks planned for 2013 worldwide. In 2012, more than $11.75 million was raised nationwide to benefit local programs and services, as well as the national advocacy initiatives of NDSS that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
This was Alabama’s 14th Annual Walk for Down Syndrome, held on Sunday, October 20, at the Hoover Met.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
