Buddy Cruise 2009
This past summer the traveling afghan got to go aboard the Buddy Cruise!
From their website:
Buddy Cruise Inc. is a not for profit organization serving families and friends of individuals with Down syndrome on a national level. It is our purpose to provide education and promote public awareness of Down syndrome by arranging and conducting special events, namely cruises. These events will be a forum for prominent educational speakers addressing a wide range of Down syndrome and disability related topics. We encourage self-advocate sessions. Buddy Cruise, ideally, will set sail each October, National Down syndrome awareness month, to honor those who are touched by Down syndrome.
Their mission is to provide educational opportunities and resources for families, while promoting awareness, acceptance, inclusion and advancement for individuals with Down syndrome through unique venues.
Here are a few photos of the 2009 event! I am awaiting some more!
Here is Mr. Piers with the afghan:
And the wonderful and talented Emily Perl Kingsley!!
For more information (and to make your reservations for next year) check out the 2010 Buddy Cruise! Read more...
An Afghan For Saoirse
Little Miss Saoirse received an afghan of her own as a gift from Mr. Sheridan. Saoirse's mom, Michelle is an independent physical therapist who works with children in early intervention in parts of Sacramento, California.
Michelle claims some pretty adorable kiddos as patients! Included are Sheridan, Joaquin and Joey! In addition, she has worked with many children who have Down syndrome and other disabilities (e.g. cerebral palsy, etc).
According to Sheridan's mom, she is amazing! Not only her skills as a Physical Therapist, but the children literally love her...as do some of their parents! Michelle also teaches the graduate pediatric PT course at the local university and in the past has held mock clinics where she invites the families she works with to participate in order for students to learn first-hand what it's like to work with infants, young children and their families.
Saoirse is their first child and Michelle had a wonderful home birth!
I'm hoping both Michelle and Saoirse enjoy their very own afghan!
