    Thank you for your support of people with Down Syndrome. I pray making people aware will put an end to the killing of babies with DS who are diagnosed prenatally.

    I love what DS association of Minnesota is doing to help people that are challenged with ds. However, I really appreciate how they are educating people like me to understand the gift these individuals are to us as a society. They have more to contribute than I ever realized. On a personal level, a 2 year old named Winston who is challenged with ds but inspite of it, has so deeply my heart with who he is, It has deepened my love & respect for anyone challenged in that way.Thank You.
