When I put the offer on Facebook about Down syndrome awareness ribbons, never in a million years did I expect such an overwhelming response. Over 100 ribbons made their way throughout the United States, and then this morning the pictures started coming in, and they kept on coming throughout the day. They were from family and friends, and then friends of family and friends that we had never met!
The Facebook messages reminding people that it was World Down Syndrome day made me swell with pride, and I dare say brought a few tears to my eyes.
We are forever grateful to each and every person who took the time to send a note, wear a ribbon and make a donation, and to talk to anyone who came up to them to ask them about their ribbon.
When we began our journey 4 journeys never could we have imagined that some many people would join us with so much love and support.
I'll have more to write and pictures to share, but I couldn't let this day pass without saying Thank You.
