Goal

I know what you’re thinking…didn’t I just do this. While the NYC marathon will go down as one of the most amazing things I’ve accomplished, my favorite races are Disney races! What's even better is when you combine HopeStory with Disney races.  I will be running the WDW half marathon to support HopeStory.  Funny story, in 2017 Rick and I were going to run our first ever race together. It was the Disney World half marathon. My family came to support us. And the Friday evening the night before the race they cancelled the race due to lightening. It was so devastating. It did however inspire us to come back many more times to redeem that race. Thankfully I figured out how to make the most of a Disney race and have gone on to ride rides and complete the Dopey challenge. So Disney races have a special place in my heart and I’m so glad we get to use them as an opportunity to raise money for HopeStory.  We continue to raise money for our nonprofit which helps connect new parents with existing parents raising children with Down syndrome.  We also help educate medical professionals as well as provide free resources to them.  Below shows you what you donation can do!

    •    $5.00 - Prints 10 “How to deliver a Down syndrome diagnosis with Hope” booklets
    •    $10.00 - Prints 8 Hope Stories booklets which answers questions in story form that new parents may have. These books are distributed nationwide to new parents and physicians
    •    $25.00 - Provides one Hope Kit to an existing parent of a child with Down syndrome so they can “adopt” their medical professional and provide peer support to new local parents.
    •    $50 - Produces material for twenty medical professional folders which provide resources to help medical professionals deliver a Down syndrome diagnosis to new parents. 
    •    $75 - Provides and ships one box (thirty books) of our Hope Stories booklets to a medical office to give to families with a new diagnosis 
    •    $100 - Helps create five podcasts that can encourage parents with a child with Down syndrome 
    •    $250 - Helps maintain, host and update our website so that we can continue to reach new families
    •    $500 - fFunds a table for our medical professional dinners. These dinners allows medical professionals to hear first hand from families raising a child with Down syndrome and experienced medical providers who have cared for families of children with Down syndrome for over a decade.
    •    $1000 - helps create new video content for new parents and medical professionals 


Any amount is appreciated and we are so amazed at the people who support our mission to help change the way a Down syndrome diagnosis is delivered.
