Welcome to the 2008 Chicagoland Buddy Walk

Welcome to the new
Chicagoland Buddy Walk website

We are please to announce our new site full of information to help you in joining us on our journey for a better tomorrow for those with Down syndrome.

Every year our walk gets bigger and bigger and this year will be no exception to that. Please join us on October 12, 2008 for our 6th Annual Chicagoland Buddy Walk brought to you by DS Support. We will be working hard to top last year’s $102,000 raised with over 1300 people who joined us in our efforts.
