Saturday was a beautiful day to celebrate some very beautiful people. Along with the outreach ministry of my church, I walked in the Down Syndrome Association of Charlotte 2011 Buddy Walk.
Cat (Catherine) is a very special girl whom I attend church with. I have had the honor of serving along side her and her mother in our church eHQ. I don't have any pictures of Cat, but I saw her Saturday along with her very large entourage! She was recognized for having raised a large amount of money and I am proud to say that my church donated to Cat's team.
The Buddy Walk was by far one of the most fun "walks" I have ever taken part in. The atmosphere was all party with smiles on every face. Here are some of the participants showing off their dance moves....
I wish you could've seen these kids dance.
There were thousands that participated in this year's walk. I took all of these photos with my phone so I hope you can see them.
People with Down Syndrome are some of the coolest people you could ever hope to meet. I spoke with Cat and her mom at church this morning. Cat was walking up to EVERYONE and talking to them about "her" buddy walk. I'm sure she is smiling about it right now.
Sounds like it was such a fun walk & a beautiful day for it! Your friend Cat sounds like a doll!! What joy!
