History of Our Group

The Buddy Walk of South Plainfield- serving Central NJ was started in 2004 by Michele Both, when her son Kyle was born. She wanted to bring acceptance & awareness for individuals with Down syndrome.

Our Group

Proceeds from the walk will be donated to the National Down Syndrome Society, Network 21, Central NJ DS PAG, DSRTF, creating packets / gift baskets for new parents of children with Down syndrome and implementing a program on educating healthcare professionals. These two programs are taken on by the Central NJ Down syndrome Parent Advocacy Group and the Buddy Walk of South Plainfield-Serving Central NJ..

This year the walk will once again be working with the Central NJ DS PAG and Network 21. Your support will help all people with Down syndrome take steps for a brighter tomorrow
