Welcome to our Delaware Down Syndrome Walk & 5K team fundraising page! We are participating to show our support for our child and more than 400,000 other individuals with Down syndrome in the U.S. 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.

Our fundraising efforts will support local programs and services, as well as advocacy and public awareness initiatives that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome in our community.

Make your tax-deductible donation today and take the first step toward helping us achieve our goal. Thank you for your support!

This day 2 years ago was Fin’s first unsuccessful surgery on his esophagus. After 2 long years he is successfully connected ! He has a couple more tests and a few more milestones to hit before he gets discharged, but he is moving in the right direction ! πŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’›

Fin update : 

Fin did amazing yesterday ! Surgery took about half the time they expected and the surgeons had to do less than they thought. He is officially connected ! WHOO HOOO! The next 3-5 days are crucial for healing. Can’t wait to see his smiling face again. Here’s SUPER FIN right before surgery ! πŸ’™

Tomorrows the day ! Fin goes in for hopefully his last surgery at John Hopkins All Children’s Hospital to connect his esophagus ! It’s been a wild ride, but we are still very confident with his doctors and know that he’s in the best hands for the job. Please keep Finny in your thoughts !πŸ’›πŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ’™
