posted 6/19/2012

Join us August 11th, 2012 for the Rene Jones Memorial Buddy Walk® in Eldridge Park, Elmira, NY. We walk to raise awareness that people with disabilities are all around; that we are all more alike than different. We walk to encourage local businesses, educators and medical professionals to accept people with Down syndrome and all disabilities as they are.
