We Walk
Sudbury’s Walk for Down Syndrome Awareness
where friendships align,
We walk together, hearts and hopes entwine.
On this day, our steps tell a story,
Of inclusion and unity, a shared glory.
Unified voices, in harmony we sing,
Shouting their worth, like a bell’s sweet ring.
Extra chromosomes, extra special, we say,
There’s nothing down about us,
Down right awesome, in every single way!
Advocacy in each stride, a melody profound,
We are loved, worthy, and capable, our message resound.
So lace up your shoes and join in the cheer,
Let’s make some noise Sudbury – DSAS is here!
