We will be hosting our first ever DSG Walking Club for our adults with Down syndrome ages 18+!  Adults will commit to walking during the entire month of October in support of Down Syndrome Awareness month.  They will track how many miles they walked, for how many minutes and how they are feeling that day.  We encourage self-advocates to do this with a neighbor, sibling, friend or parent!    

Secondly, we invite self-advocates to use their walking club as a way to raise money for Team IMPCT at the DSG Buddy Walk®.  Team IMPCT is composed of our self-advocates, their families, friends and our DSG volunteers.  Money raised by Team IMPCT and the Buddy Walk® allows the DSG to host adult programs.  Self-advocates can raise money by asking friends, family and neighbors to pledge a certain amount for how many miles walking during the month of October.   

Lastly, we will be meeting via Zoom on Friday afternoons to discuss how we are feeling, celebrate the miles walked and hard work put into walking! This meeting will be fun to catch up with friends, make new ones and support one another on this walking journey

Space is limited and registration is required.  Registration closes Friday, September 25, 2020. Have questions? Please contact Samantha Escherich at 214.267.1374 or samantha@downsyndromedallas.org.
