    Exclamation Griffins Run - Dash For Down Syndrome

    Al has most graciously once again let me post this

    My wife and I hold a 5k every March in honor of my third child (Griffin) who was born with Down Syndrome. He’s a jam up kid and makes this world a better place. Everyone should be more like Griffin

    In Europe most pregnancies with DS end up as abortions. The ones that aren’t are abandoned or put up for adoption. These kids are warehoused until hopefully they are adopted by the time they are 12 or they go to adult mental institutions for life. There are people wanting to adopt these children but can’t afford it (roughly 15k). We try to raise enough money for an adoption. In 4 years we’ve raised 45k.

    If you live live in the mid south we would love to see you come run. We also have an online donation page where any pledges would be greatly appreciated.


    Here’s is an online donation link

    "Micky" was raised on a farm up the road from me, he was born DS. He played baseball with my generation ( 50's 60's) and with my son's generation 80's 90's with the same enthusiasm. He was everyone's child.
