Down Syndrome Awareness Month
What a pleasant surprise I got when I opened my e-mail! Rylee's mom sent a message out that KDLT did a story on their family for Down Syndrome Awareness Month. I missed the television run ~ but could find the story at http://www.kdlt.com/news/1011n1.html. Be sure to check it out! Carin ( Rylee's mom) also promotes New Directions ~ a Down Syndrome Association in Sioux Falls. Next year, Carin will take over as director of the buddy walk.

As this is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, thought I’d pass along an easy way to help raise awareness: check out this short video -- http://www.ahamoment.com/vote/barry -- about the aha moment of father of a child with Down Syndrome who learned what you can do with challenges. If you like his story, click to vote for him, as the top vote getters in the contest will be aha moment TV commercials next year. More media exposure around Down Syndrome awareness would be a very good thing, so spread the word if you can.

Thanks so much for your great write-up on Carin and Rylee. As Carin's Mom and Rylee's Grandma, I sure appreciate your kind words about their family and your promotion of Down syndrome awareness - and future plans to support next year's Buddy Walk! Thank you!
