As most of you know, I have a granddaughter with Down Syndrome. Macee is now 12 1/2 and doing amazingly. Mike and Meredith found out Macee had this special need on the day she was to be release from the hospital. Having no pre-knowledge, there was no pre-prep.  I am amazed at how my daughter-in-law  has taken the bull by the horn (so to speak) and researched everything she could to help her baby.  She is now the Executive Director of the Down Syndrome Asso. of Pittsburgh.  Her job, with your help, is to raise awareness and funds to help the people in the Pittsburgh area who have children with Down Syndrome with much needed  resources, find doctors, and for good old moral support.  She previously worked for and still works closely with Down Syndrome Center at Children's Hospital.  My goal is to raise $1,000 this fall.
