Team Incentive Level

Incentive level: Preferred Parking at the Step Up Walk

Welcome to the Baby Jack’s Heroes Page!

We are so excited to see Jack walk for the first time in the 2025 Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk! Our little walker is on the move and we are quite literally chasing after him. Our curious boy loves exploring and figuring things out. Our favorite time with him is anytime he is giving us those good belly laughs. We are enjoying this time of toddler hood with Jack even though the feelings are starting to get BIG 🙂

Down Syndrome Innovations (DSI) has given us opportunities this year to connect with other parents just like us through their New Parent meetings and Connect and Play groups. These interactions have been incredibly beneficial for the health and well-being of our family and donations to this organization ensure services for LIFE for folks just like Jack. Hope you can join us and Jack for some fun at Step Up Walk 2025!
