Allie Lybrand
Welcome to my DSAJ Buddy Walk® fundraising page! I am walking to show my support for more than 400,000 individuals with Down syndrome in the U.S. Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to ensuring that every individual will have the opportunity to reach his or her potential.
My fundraising efforts will support local programs and services, as well as National Down Syndrome Society advocacy and public awareness initiatives that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
Make your tax-deductible donation today and take the first step toward helping me achieve my goal. Thank you for your support!

2023. The year our lives changed forever. I am thankful for every tear, laugh, and memory made. Bring it on 2024 🩵
This is an excerpt from an article about Down syndrome. I don’t know how accurate these percentages are, but I love it. We really are the lucky few! 🩵💛 “Do you know that only 20% of eggs with an extra 21st chromosome survives the first cell division? Of that 20% about 20% survive to fertilization? And of that 20% only 20% actually survive the first cell division following fertilization? What are the odds that you have that child in your life? Extremely slim. The only explanation is that your child is a fighter and fought for life from the split second of fertilization. In that regard and in that they can overcome not just one error that should have interrupted life but thousands, makes them super beings. Far stronger than you and I ever will be. For this and so much more, our children deserve admiration.” #downsyndromeawareness #theluckyfew #allieraelybrand
