It is that time of year again! Team Alexandra is set to walk in the ASU homecoming parade on November 23 to support the Down syndrome Network of Arizona. It might be our 14th year to do this event and Team Alexandra has raised over $20,000 for an excellent organization. Alex is rocking her freshman year in high school. She has grown in her independence and somehow traverses her huge school daily with a very heavy backpack. She is still into all the sports! Basketball probably still remains her favorite with baseball and soccer close seconds. She just made the freshman high school girls basketball team. We would love to have anyone join our walk team and walk and hang out with us for the free Chili's lunch afterward. If you are unable to join us the day of the walk, a donation in honor of Alex would also be greatly appreciated. The DsNetwork of Arizona supports families, as well as children and adults with Down sydrome. They offer many engaging trainings as well as fun and exciting events and opportunities to us. We just got to attend a Phoenix Suns game with discounted tickets for Down sydrome Awareness and Acceptance night at the Footprint Center during the game. Would love to see some familiar faces join TEAM ALEXANDRA. Thank you!
