Meet an Athlete Ambassador

I’m first and foremost a mom to two-girls, one of which has Down syndrome. I love representing Team NDSS during my running races and triathlons because I want to raise awareness about including people with Down syndrome in all activities, but specifically athletics. I want my daughter and her peers with DS to grow up knowing that whatever their passions, they are supported, encouraged, and welcomed. No exclusions, no limits!
