The Buddy Walk and Family Picnic is a fun-filled day that brings together family members, friends, teachers, co-workers, and community members to raise awareness, and celebrate the lives of individuals with Down syndrome and their accomplishments and contributions.

This year, the Buddy Walk will be held on Sunday, October 7, 2007. Registration and pre-walk festivities begin at 12:00 noon and the 3-mile, scenic walk around Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield will kick-off at 1:00 PM. (There is an optional ride back at the halfway point.) Following the walk, families and friends will enjoy a picnic, music, face painting, and activities for the kids!

The Buddy Walk has grown over the years to become our largest fundraiser of the year. Last year over 1,000 people participated in the event to raise awareness about Down syndrome and help fund MDSC sponsored programs including First Call, Educator's Forum, and the annual MDSC Conference. With your help we believe we can make this year's Buddy Walk even bigger!

There are many ways that you can participate! For more information on our annual Buddy Walk and how you can be a part of this great event, please visit our Buddy Walk page at
