This is the little lady that drives my passion to make life better for her and all of those with Down syndrome. Isn't she cute??!!

THE STORY:

Devin has been a model of tenacity and determination to our family. She has shown us how to take on situations that may not be ideal and work through them and fight. She has shown us that we should enjoy each day, and smile and appreciate the little things that we often overlook. She has shown us that at the end of the day family and those friends in our family come first. Devin has been an inspiration on so many levels that being thankful to have her in our lives seems like such a trivial statement. That smile, the light in her eyes, that is what makes Devin who she is, not Down syndrome or the extra chromosome in little body. And this is what inspires our family to work to support DSNMC.

It has been my pleasure to be a part of DSNMC for the past six years and to watch this organization grown and support our community. It is with funds raised through this one event that have enable us to reach out to health care providers, medical students, educators and employers to build awareness about Down syndrome- what it is and what is really means to a family and our community. We have also been able to add parent workshops to support families who need help with the ongoing challenges of raising a child with special needs and giving them the tools that are so very much needed. And finally, if not the most important of all, the Buddy Walk has allowed DSNMC to add more social opportunities for our families to gather and share information and sometimes the ever needed should to cry on. We are a community like no other and I am proud to be a part of DSNMC.

Please help my team , DEVIN ROCKS, by joining us on October 6th at Hadley Park in Potomac, MD for yet another great BUDDY WALK!!
