Well, the Buddy Walk in Indianapolis is a much, much bigger deal. Check out the pictures and you can see. I don’t know exactly how many people there were but it had to be more than 1200. There were celebrities like Chris Burke, best known for his role as “Corky” on the TV series, “Life Goes On”, and the president of the national Down Syndrome Society in attendance. There were all kinds of activities, music and games. Additionally, this event raises much more money than we were used to, a good thing of course.

The weather was unseasonably warm with the temperature around 80 degrees. This was a drastic difference from last years event where the McIntosh’s got all bundled up to walk in sleet and rain. Kids were rapped in blankets and drinking hot chocolate.

After applying our sun screen we were off to walk along the river walk in down town Indianapolis. The official rout was a little short of 4 miles but we cut this short. Ellie did the most walking but she and Mia took turns riding in the stroller. We had a great time and most importantly we are all wearing our matching blue T-shirts.

The Indiana Down Syndrome Foundation did a great job and more importantly raised more than $125k. We are looking forward to next year already.
