Our Buddy Walks in Sydney and the Gong were a great way to celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Week. Around 1200 people took part in the two Walks. They were great family days and as well as being lots of fun, have raised close to $40,000 so far for Down syndrome.

We have been putting photos in our photo gallery. If you would like us to add some of yours send them to marketing@dsansw.org.au

We have already started planning for next year's Walks. Help us make next year even better by answering the questions on the evaluation forms Buddy Walk Sydney Evaluation Form / Buddy Walk in the Gong Evaluation Form. Email your comments to priscilla@dsansw.org.au or fax to 02 9683 4020.
