Team Incentive Level

Incentive level: Pick Your Tent Location at the Step Up Walk

Welcome to the Carson’s Cruisade Page!

Carson has been enjoying his day service at GoodLife Innovations. He loves animals, especially cats, dogs, and horses. He’s the oldest child in our family of 5. His younger brother and sister are very proud of their older brother. His mother, Amy, and his stepdad, James, both work to support the disability community in the KC metro. The Step Up Walk is a great place to connect with persons in the Down syndrome community as well as introduce our family and friends to the great support system that is DSI.
