Thank you for stopping by my page. That is fantastic. You either know me, Grayson (aka- Hot Shot) and want to support me, know someone with Down syndrome and want to support our local Ds association, or you are just one awesome person with a big heart.  Maybe it is all three, but thanks for supporting.  

We will be walking at UNCC's stadium as "Grayson's Gladiators" come join me and all my Gladiators!! The 2018 Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte Buddy Walk will be October 20th to promote community inclusion and to celebrate individuals with Down syndrome. You're invited to join me by walking and/or donating to the Buddy Walk!

Down syndrome (Ds) is a genetic condition that occurs in approximately 1 in every 700 live births. More than 400,000 individuals with Ds live in the US. Recent advances in our understanding of Down syndrome have resulted in dramatic improvements in the life span and potential of individuals with Ds.

The Buddy Walk is a one-mile walk and family fun day - that includes arts and crafts, bounce houses and more! It is also the largest fundraiser for the Down Syndrome Association (DSA) of Greater Charlotte. This event enables the DSA Greater Charlotte to put on many of its programs, including educational meetings and symposiums, Carolinas Down Syndrome Conference, First Call new and expectant parent mentor program, sleep-away Camp Horizon, summer-day Camp Holiday, life-skills Camp Cuisine, social groups, and the DSA Greater Charlotte Together in Education school partnership program.

The DSA Greater Charlotte serves individuals with Ds, families, educators and professionals in Charlotte and the 11 surrounding counties.

Thank you for supporting Grayson's Gladiators and the 2018 Greater Charlotte Buddy Walk!

Love, Grayson
