Welcome to our Columbus Buddy Walk team fundraising page for Team Christian! We are so excited for our 11th Buddy Walk! 

Join us on Sunday, September 29 at Fortress Obetz as Central Ohio comes together to celebrate and advocate for people with Down syndrome! 

We are #TheLuckyFew!

We will be hosting various Team Christian fundraisers throughout the year, so make sure to follow Team Christian on Facebook and Instagram so you don't miss them!

We love Disney! 

With over 250,000 people in the United States with Down syndrome, DSACO strives to provide tools and opportunities that promote awareness, acceptance, and inclusion in our communities. Every dollar we raise brings us one step closer to ensuring that our child and every individual will have the opportunity to reach their potential.

We love Taco Bell!

Our fundraising efforts will support local programs and services through the Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio (DSACO), as well as National Down Syndrome Society advocacy and public awareness initiatives that benefit all people with Down syndrome.

2023 Columbus Buddy Walk!

Thank you for supporting Christian and people just like him! We can't wait to see you for the 2024 Columbus Buddy Walk!

Double digits! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Heโ€™s 10!! ๐ŸŒŸ 
Itโ€™s so hard to believe that he is already 10! He was the greatest surprise of our lives and thereโ€™s simply no way our lives would be complete without him. 

The things he has taught us in his 10 years are things some people never learn in this life. 10 years ago I was a scared mom who didnโ€™t know what life would look like with a child with Down syndrome. If only I could have seen what unbelievable joy he would bring to our lives, I wouldnโ€™t have been so scared. โค๏ธ 

Happy birthday to our amazing Christian!!!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ #birthday #happybirthday #downsyndrome #theluckyfew #trisomy21 #birthdayboy
