Her photo will be displayed before the Buddy Walk, spotlighting the beauty and resilience of the Down syndrome community. For Shyla’s mom, this moment honors their journey through surgeries and near-losses, symbolizing strength and hope. The livestream on September 12th invites everyone to witness a powerful message of inclusion: Down syndrome isn’t a limitation—it’s part of a vibrant, courageous story.
