Families, advocates and community supporters have an opportunity to celebrate inclusion while supporting Maryland's Down syndrome community at the Step Up for Down Syndrome walk in Baltimore.

Hosted by the Down Syndrome Association of Maryland, the event highlights the organization's statewide efforts to connect families with resources, build community and advocate for individuals with Down syndrome. This year's theme, "My Life. My Choices.," focuses on empowering people with disabilities and promoting inclusion in every aspect of community life.
