2014 National Down Syndrome Society Buddy Walk

Elise's team will be at the 2014 Tulsa, OK Buddy Walk. So far she is second in fundraising, but she needs some help.

http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraise...abuddywalk2014


Elise is currently 5 years old and in kindergarten. She was born with down syndrome and two holes in her heart. At 5 months she had open heart surgery to repair the holes. (She slept her first 5 months). After surgery she became energetic.

This will be her 4th Buddy Walk. 4 different cities, 3 different states. She welcomes anyone to come join her and just donate to her team.

I can't tell what that is with my crummy monitor. Is it a pedal tractor?

Yes. This is a pedal pulling competition. The tractors are modified.

She did not do well, but it was fun. The local competition at home was a bit different.
