Since my son was 3 months old the DSAR has welcomed my family to such a amazing supportive community. The DSAR has helped me learn how to
advocate for my child, stand up for him and others in our community with disabilities. I am so grateful for the lifelong friendships my son and our family has made all because of the DSAR.

The buddy walk means a lot to me because my best buddy is my brother Christopher and he has Down
syndrome!
