I remember sitting in front of the TV watching Jerry Lewis Telethon every year. Watching it day in and day out and getting my parents to donate to help and running around the neighborhood to raise money to donate to the telethon. That same passion has been with me over the years and is what has drawn me to Down Syndrome of Louisville. I have always had a passion for getting involved with Down Syndrome of Louisville. When I had the opportunity to get involved I was so excited. I can’t wait to get involved and celebrate these amazing individuals and their families.
