Despite all the technical difficulties we still beat our goal!!! We raised over $156,000L! (over $600US) in one day!!

I would like to thank all the performers Sojurn Rossini, Edward Kyomoon, Sylar Morrisey, Maximillion Kleene, Mack Humbridge, DJ ETC, DJ Splash, Guitar Zane and a thanks to Totonaco for helping arrange the schedule

Your performance means alot to the many individuals with Down syndrome. You not only raised funds but you also gave awareness to the 300+ people in attendance this day.

Unfortunately due to some log-in issues Skye Galaxy wasn’t able to make it, but we are rescheduling his show so stay tuned for that date!

The Garden and donation kiosks are still up so if you couldn’t make it yesterday, just stop by anytime!

Also a big thank you to those who made a donation.

Be sure to check in your area for a rl walk near you, www.buddywalk.org

We raised $125,510L, twice the amount from last year!! And that was just in world, I think a few of you went and donated right at buddywalk.org

We also had almost 200 avatars show up in support.

I thought that doing a Second Life Buddy Walk would be a completely different experience than a real life one. But it’s really not, it was great meeting others who where parents, aunts, uncles, siblings of someone with Down syndrome. What is different is that there were many there that didn’t know much about Down syndrome, the Buddy Walk or NDSS. I know a few of my friends learned a few facts after taking the walk in the garden and that was so great to hear! Awareness is a big part of the walk.

The venue will stay up for a few weeks so please feel free to stop by and still do the walk if you weren’t able to yesterday. Donations will also still be accepted.

There are also subscribe kiosks for the Down syndrome group around so please join to be on the list to find out about next year’s festivities. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Unico/165/216/807
