SUMMARY:Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk
DESCRIPTION:Rather than meeting at the Bees Stadium in New Britain as we had originally planned\, we’re going to switch things up for safety and celebrate in our communities all over Connecticut.  While we will miss connecting with everyone in one location\, this is an amazing opportunity to share what DS ACT is all about where it matters most – in our hometowns! \nThere will be challenge activities leading up to the day of the walk\, and on September 26th\, we’ll stream guest appearances\, shoutouts\, photos\, and fun. Stay tuned for the details! \nPLEASE PLAN TO JOIN US BY REGISTERING A TEAM\, JOINING A TEAM OR MAKING A DONATION AT www. ds-stride.org/stepupconnecticut. We want to be sure that DS ACT’s programming\, education\, and advocacy for families who live with Down syndrome continues. \n
