Huddies Buddies

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Huddies Buddies! This year is our very first Buddy Walk with Down Syndrome Network Oregon (DSNO), and we are walking in honor of our sweet son, Hudson.

Hudson was born with Down syndrome, and we dreamed of the day we could participate in the Buddy Walk with him. Although we don’t get to walk beside him the way we had hoped, it only feels right to take these steps in his honor.

If you’re able to join our team on September 20th, we would love to have you walk with us. If you can’t make it, we would be so grateful for your support through a donation. Every contribution helps DSNO continue providing support, resources, and community for families like ours.

Thank you for helping us honor Hudson’s life and celebrate the Down syndrome community. We are grateful to have you alongside us as we walk in his memory.

With love,

Ariah, Haylie & Hudson
