Emceed for the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk Saturday

........and did we ever have a magnificent turn out.
What wonderful families and friends these special kids have. The event was at the Palace and there must have been 2000 people there...........I believe nearly $200,000.00 was raised for down syndrome education, awareness and community involvement for these kids with the one extra chromosone. I learned that from one of the signs one of them was carrying, (that's why she was so special she said!)
The teams all dressed up and had such cute names for their teams. Starwars was there and the people wearing those hot costumes were a class act. It was hot, they donated their time, and made the event. Whoever you guys are.........I couldn't see your faces.........my hats off to you!
It was fun emceeing and I was told by many I did a great job and kept everything moving! Always nice to get compliments on your work!
All of you who put on the 6th annual SE MI Buddy Walk did a wonderful job.......I was just
amazed at all you did for this. Your hard work and passion for these kids certainly paid off!

  1. Thank u so much for being part of this event. When we started planning for an emcee I knew there was no one who would be better or connect more with the people. I'm glad we got to spend the day together. I love you my long time special friend.
