Hello Family and Friends,

This will be our first Buddy Walk, and the 7th annual walk here in Omaha.  The Buddy Walk is the only fundraiser of the year, and all of the money goes towards educational seminars, parent outreach programs, advocacy of Down Syndrome awareness, and most important, fun social events for the kids.  We have already been to Pirates Cove and spent an evening with other kids like Charlie.  There are plenty of other events that we'll be able to do as Charlie gets older.

This year's walk is on October 4th.  We welcome you to come and walk with us at the event.  If you can't make it, we ask that you show your support in any way you can.  We appreciate anything that you can do.  We hope to hear from you or see you on October 4th.  Thank you for always being such wonderful family and friends. 

Love always,

Charlie, Bobby, Doug, & Carrie Joseph
