Dalton's Gang.

Usually, our posts are about our own little blue-eyed boys, but this one is about another sweet little blue-eyed guy in our family ... our nephew Dalton. At 19 months old, he is busy prepping for a big event ... one that benefits a cause near and dear to our hearts. On Oct. 18, Dalton and his proud parents and many other friends and family members (fondly known as Dalton's Gang) will participate in the Kansas City Buddy Walk. Their goal is to raise money for Down Syndrome education, research, and advocacy programs to ensure all individuals with Down Syndrome -- including Dalton -- are given every opportunity to reach their full potential. 

The amount of support that Dalton's Gang has rallied is truly amazing. The Chicago Chapter of Dalton's Gang (better known as Great Aunt Janette & Great Uncle Dick) just sponsored a garage sale where they raised more than $625 for Buddy Walk! My sister has recruited several of her students to join the team and walk with them on that Saturday.

We wanted to blog about this to help spread the word, too. If you'd like to support this great cause, simply click on this link: Donate to Dalton's Gang. If you or someone you know might want to walk or get involved with this event (they have walks in many cities), check out more info on the Buddy Walk website.
