‘We’ve come a long way, baby’
Celebrating 30 years
The Down Syndrome Association of NSW was formed 30 years ago by a group of parents of babies and young children with Down syndrome. Without any government funding, these remarkable parents built an organisation that has, along with breakthroughs in early intervention services, provided expectations and opportunities for babies, children and young adults, far greater than in any previous generation.
Buddy Walks help us celebrate the lives of those with Down syndrome and their families. In 2009,
supported by our theme of ‘It’s a G.A.S!’(Grandparents and Siblings) our Buddy Walk Heroes helped us raise over $40,000 to improve access to information and resources for all communities across NSW, improve the broader community understanding of Down syndrome and help build a more inclusive and supportive society.
This year we celebrate the 30th year anniversary of Down Syndrome NSW, and the achievements of people with Down Syndrome and their families, plus recognise the great steps forward made in the last
30 years. Please join us.
