The Buddy Walk was established in 1995 by the National Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October and to promote acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome. This year, the Farrington Family was able to participate in two Buddy Walks here in Phoenix. The first was with Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona and the second was with Down Syndrome Network Arizona. We had a great time, and our team, Chelsea's Cheerleaders, was able to raise about $1,500 that will be used to support the local programs here in Arizona as well as national education, research and advocacy initiatives.
