Let me give you some background on what a "Buddy Walk" is exactly.

The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to promote acceptance and awareness of people with Down syndrome.  The Buddy Walk is a one-mile advocacy walk in which anyone can participate and bring a special Buddy.  When the walk started in 1995 there were 17 walks but as of today there are more than 280 walks across the country and around the world. In 2009 the Buddy Walks raised over $10.5 million to benefit national education, research and advocacy initiatives, as well as local programs and services.

Thank you for your help!
