“Charlotte is our youngest granddaughter who was born just a year ago. In such a short time she has brought so much joy and happiness to our family. Her ever-present smile can light up a room! We have become immersed in the Down Syndrome world and we are amazed at the great work others have done before us to make a better world for children like Charlotte. We joined TeamNDSS in conjunction with the Marine Corps Marathon because we want to pay it forward so that all DS children can reap the benefits of NDSS.”
