Xerxes & Company 💙💛💙

Welcome to our Houston Buddy Walk® team fundraising page! Xerxes & company is participating to show our support for Xerxes and more than 400,000 other individuals with Down syndrome in the U.S. Every dollar we raise brings us one step closer to ensuring that our child and every individual will have the opportunity to reach their potential. To know Xerxes is to love him. He is my literal sour patch kid. He is 8 years old, He is number 7 out of 8. He was the youngest for 6 years, but takes his current role of big brother very seriously. I truly believe Xerxes has thrived tremendously living in such a big family. I began advocating for Xerxes in order to teach his family more about life with Down Syndrome. It is definitely not for the weak and sometimes I question my own ability to properly teach others about Xerxes but I know I cannot ever quit! He is constantly teaching me to live my life in a very different way than i was before he joined the family. Though I try my very hardest not to put limits on him because of his diagnosis. By joining our team and getting to know Xerxes you are helping spread awareness about down syndrome and how having extra DNA doesnt mean its the end of the world, consider it like taking the scenic route instead of the short cut in life.

Our fundraising efforts will support local programs and services for the Down Syndrome Association of Houston, as well as National Down Syndrome Society advocacy and public awareness initiatives that benefit all individuals with Down syndrome.
