The M&M Crew (Melo and Maisie)

Dear Friends & Family,

We are excited to share that we are participating in the 2025 Step UP for Down Syndrome Walk on Saturday, October 25 at Falls Road Park in Potomac, MD—and we would love for you to be part of it!

This walk supports the Down Syndrome Network of Montgomery County (DSNMC), an incredible nonprofit that empowers people with Down syndrome and their families from birth through adulthood. DSNMC offers essential programs, advocacy, and a strong, welcoming community that makes a real difference every day.

I’m walking to celebrate the amazing people with Down syndrome in my life—and to raise funds for the resources and support that help them thrive. You can help by:

• Making a donation to support my fundraising efforts

• Joining my team and walking with us on October 25

• Sharing this cause with others who may want to support

Every dollar makes an impact, and your support means the world to me and to so many families.

Let’s Step UP together to create a more inclusive, supportive community for all. Thank you for being part of it!

With gratitude!

Masie's & Carmelo's parents
