Please join me on September 27th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Colorado, as we come together to support an amazing cause and celebrate and honor the incredible individuals in who have Turner syndrome.

Family members, friends, and supporters are invited to make a donation in honor of their loved one with Turner syndrome. Every contribution helps support the vital programs and services of Turner Syndrome Colorado, including the eXtraOrdinary Kids Turner Syndrome Clinic, educational initiatives, community events, and family support programs.

We have an exciting day planned, including food trucks, family-friendly activities, community resources, and opportunities to connect with others in the Turner syndrome community.

Children are invited to participate in our Butterfly Parade, a special event celebrating the strength, beauty, and uniqueness of those with Turner syndrome. Costumes and creative butterfly-themed attire are encouraged!

We are also thrilled to feature new vendors and activities this year, including flash tattoos by BLK Sheep Studios and a Pop Claw trailer (sponsored by Resort 2 Kindness), along with other fun surprises for attendees. You don't want to miss it! 

After everyone has a chance to picnic, we will gather in teams to walk through the beautiful Hudson Gardens. Team signs, matching shirts, and creative displays of support are encouraged as we walk together in honor of our loved ones. 

We can't wait to celebrate with you and create another memorable day of community, awareness, and support.

My Journey with Turner Syndrome: 

I found out about my diagnosis at the age of 16, but I lived with it in secret for nearly 12 years. In March 2018, I made the decision I no longer wanted to live in silence and that choice changed my life.

On that March day, a quick Google search led me to Turner Syndrome Colorado (TSCO), and one phone call connected me to a community I didn’t even know I needed. Soon after, I began volunteering, met other women who truly understood my diagnosis, and eventually joined the Board. Today, I’m in my fourth year serving as President.

Since 2018, this journey has been incredibly transformative. My 16-year-old self never could have imagined the growth, connection, and purpose that would come from choosing not to stay silent.

In 2022, I attended the Walk for the first time, and it also happened to be my first major event as President of the Turner Syndrome Colorado Board. I still think back to my 16-year-old self, just learning about my diagnosis, and I know she never could have imagined this — serving as President of the Board for an organization that supports other women and their families walking a similar path.

I’ve learned that sharing my story — my authentic story — has connected me with the most incredible community. I’m so grateful that I no longer live in the shadows of my diagnosis, but instead can embrace the many blessings that have come from it, I’m proud to advocate, educate, and support others on their Turner syndrome journey.
