The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down syndrome
Society in 1995 to bring together a wide range of concerned
individuals to reach out to friends, family and co-workers to
promote awareness and inclusion for people with Down Syndrome
and to raise money for research and education programs. The
Buddy Walk is a trademarked program of the National Down
Syndrome Society.

The Buddy Walk is a one-mile walk in which anyone can participate
without special training. The walk has grown from 17 in 1995 to
over 190 in 2004. More than 180,000 people from coast to coast
and abroad participated this past year.
