WALK STARTS
The event ends at the conclusion of the walk.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a 5k and the walk is completely optional. It’s a short loop and you can bail out at any time.
If you decide to walk, keep an eye out for Luca’s sign along the way!
JOIN THE FUN
Check out this brief video which highlights important information about the day and how you can show your support.
LUCA’S TEAM SHIRT
There’s a great deal of meaning behind the design of our team shirt. The third copy of the 21st chromosome is what makes people with Down syndrome extra special giving them a total of 47 chromosomes.
Let’s spread Luca’s love and light! Help us raise awareness and spark conversation by wearing your shirt year-round.
