Williams Syndrome Awareness Walks and Fundraisers

The growth in the number of WS walks and fundraisers this year from previous years is wonderfully staggering! There seems to be a new event announced every day. That has led me to decide that I will not be posting each new event here - frankly, I just can't keep up! But there is a great place to go to find an event near you.

Transition Academy Helps Students with Disabilities Find Jobs and Support - Kirkland, WA Patch:

"Jeremy Carrigan was born with a developmental disability called Williams Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that often leads those with the condition to rely on full-time caregivers into adulthood.
But thanks in part to Lake Washington School District’s Transition Academy, Carrigan, now 26, has a job, money and independence."
