2020 Buddy Walk Ambassador Stories – Giovany

Gio’s family is very excited to be part of the Buddy Walk. They look forward to this day every year. The walk has shown them as a family how much love and support their son has. During the walk the support from our community, family and friends is so inspiring and really makes them feel proud to be part of the Down Syndrome Network Family. The Buddy Walk is a day where they can all get together to recognize and celebrate Down syndrome. It is a day to show these blessings of how special everyone is who has Down syndrome in this world! There is so much fun and love in the air on this day!

Gio’s mom has participated in DSNetwork’s Moms Night Out program and the whole family has danced along in the agency’s virtual ZUMBA sessions.  “They are SOOO much fun!,” said Brenda, Gio’s mom. “Down Syndrome Network has the best events, programs and have given Gio and our family the opportunity to participate and creating happy memories that last forever.”

Gio’s family is especially grateful for the families they have met and the many connections they have made through DSNetwork. “Down Syndrome Network is a great organization that has helped us along the way,” concludes Brenda.
