Help David raise money

To everyone on “Claire’s Team”...

The Falmouth Road Race (FRR) is right around the corner, mid-August, and we’re back at it!!  Robyn, Andrew (17), Eleanor (16), and I will be running the Falmouth Road Race (FRR) on Team MDSC (Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress) in honor of our daughter Claire (14) for the 14^th straight year! 

Claire just finished 8th grade and will be going to High School next year!  Not sure how we got here, and I can’t believe it.  Although, it could be because her favorite movie is still “Frozen” and loves all things that have to do with princesses and singing.  We feel like we have a much younger child at home.  She is going at her pace, and that’s perfect.

Team MDSC is about supporting and believing in the full potential of people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities. We are working together to raise important funds that enable the MDSC to support new and expectant families, educate health care professionals about Down syndrome and how to deliver a diagnosis, provide social and leadership development for teens and young adults with Down syndrome, equip educators with best practices and resources, and create and influence legislation affecting people with Down syndrome and other disabilities on the local and national level.  The MDSC’s influence does not stop at the Massachusetts border or only help people with Down Syndrome, their work benefits all people with intellectual disabilities, everywhere. In short, we are building a supportive and inclusive community.

We have been truly blessed over the years to have your support. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!  Together we have helped the Down syndrome community improve the lives of people with disabilities everywhere. In addition to the financial support, we want to thank you all for being accepting and welcoming to all people.

Please consider supporting this great cause once again!!   

Dave, Robyn, Andrew, Eleanor, & Claire
