Dear Friends and Supporters,

Today marks the fourth anniversary of Jason's passing. As we remember him and the impact he had on our lives, we find strength in the love and pride he had for his family. Many of you have shared how proud Jason would be of our efforts and, most importantly, of his daughter with Down syndrome and all she has accomplished.

In honor of Jason's memory and his enduring legacy, we are asking for your support for the DD Hero Walk. This event is dedicated to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities in Washtenaw County, and every dollar raised brings us one step closer to ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
