We’re just 4 weeks away from the Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk! The Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida is hosting the 23rd Annual Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk in person this year! Extra measures will take place to ensure the safety of our families, supporters and participants. Stay tuned for the exciting changes coming. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual option will be available – so be sure to register your team!
