Paisley and her favourite runners
Last year was Paisley and her team's first experience with the annual 'Run Up For Down Syndrome' and it was fabulous! Come
out and join us. She would love to see you there!
Our individual team members have combined digital forces to create this awesome fundraising team. Together we are ready to smash expectations and raise more money for the Down Syndrome Research Foundation than we ever could alone!
Want to help?
Support us by making a donation to our team. The process is fast, easy, and secure... and you can be sure that it will benefit many individuals with Down syndrome and their families.
Or, better yet, join our team and set up a fundraising page of your own. Together, we can make a huge difference!
At the Down Syndrome Resource Foundation, expectations are defied every day. Children speak, after their parents were told it would never happen. Teens graduate with reading skills far beyond what statistics say is "expected." Adults find meaningful employment and thrive in the community, surprising a world that didn't think it possible.
Here are a few photos from our experience at last year's event.
Last year, Run Up for Down Syndrome moved to Swangard Stadium and laid waste to our wildest hopes, growing to over 1,100 runners and almost a quarter million dollars raised in support of educational programs and services for individuals with Down syndrome.
This year, we're not going to even hazard a guess as to where this could go. We're taking inspiration from our students and leaving limits in the past.
Smash expectations and burst through your limits at Run Up for Down Syndrome!
Can't make the event? Be there in spirit as a Virtual Runner!
You can join in the fun and support the cause, even if you can't be there on June 2. You can even be part of a team! Sign up as a Virtual Runner to create your fundraising page, and we'll send you a Run Up for Down Syndrome t-shirt, designed by a DSRF student. You will also be eligible for our fundraising prizes. And best of all, the registration price for Virtual Runners is just $10!
