Do you know what today is??

Today is the first day of October, and October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month!!!


So lets kick it off with the 5k run I've been working toward!


If you know me, you know I am a terrible runner and I hate it. But an Apostle from our Church once said... "If you don't do something that makes you uncomfortable every day, than you need to start over!" I don't remember who actually said it and it probably didn't go exactly like that, but you get it!

So I am doing something REALLY uncomfortable for me today. To feel more alive, to feel more accomplished and just to know that I CAN DO IT!



So I want all of you to do something you may be uncomfortable with... take some time this month to become more AWARE of Down Syndrome. It's not scary, it's just an extra chromosome! We have come a long way in our thinking, but there is still more to learn! Here are some great places to start!


Canadian Down Syndrome Society


Calgary Down Syndrome Association


Reeces Rainbow - DS Adoption Ministry

P.S. I'm trying to let everyone know (if you haven't already updated) that you have my old blog address that brings up some man and Honda. Not me! :)
