Since the Tri-State Down Syndrome group is kind-of small we only host a Buddy Walk every other year and since this was an off year we decided to attend the Sioux Falls, SD Buddy Walk. It turned out to be an incredible day and lots of fun for the kids. One of the great highlights was meeting Chris Burke, a famous actor from the 1980's TV show "Life Goes On". Seeing Chris on TV as a kid helped me see beyond many of the false stereo types at are associated with people with Down syndrome. Who would have known that this amazing little boy would change our hearts, lives and souls so much or that because of him we would make friends with some incredible families and build amazing friendships. It was an honor to celebrate and spread awareness of these incredible individuals at the 2010 Buddy Walk!
