2012 Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk

The 2012 Capital City Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk was a huge success this year.  A record 75 teams preregistered over 1600 walkers who raised over $90,000.  October 6 was a chilly day but our hearts were warm after seeing all the love an support that was abundant in Antelope Park that day.

This is the third year for the Early Bird Fundraising Incentive where teams who raised money before August 31 st coul earn up to 3 fact posters for each $175 raised.  The response was incredible.  There were 98 posters earned this year that were displayed along the walk.

Photographer Erica Thompson of Images for a Lifetime took most of the photos and designed the beautiful posters.   .  After posting them on Facebook they "went viral"  with some of the posters being shared over a thousand times all around the world.  Other groups have even shared a link to our posters on thier blogs and websites as seen here.  What an awesome way to spread Down syndrome awareness!

Thank you to everyone who formed a teams, raised or donated funds, and walked to support thier favorite loved one with Down syndrome.!
