Buddy Walk

My cousin, John was born with Down Syndrome. When he was born I knew little about what that was. I still know very little, except that every person I meet who happens to have Down Syndrome is super sweet. John is no exception. He has his moments of course but doesn't every child?

Every year the Colorado Springs Down Syndrome Association hosts a 'Buddy Walk'. Over 1,000 people came out this year including my parents (they made the trip from Iowa and brought Grandma along too). Its always a fun day and always a reminder that no matter the disability someone has they can still laugh and love. The Buddy Walk is one of the most fun events in town.
