I’m Grace Wadell—George’s mom and a passionate advocate for everyone with Down syndrome. When my son was denied lifesaving care, I knew something had to change. Every Buddy is Gold is the story of how that moment lit a fire—and how a small group of parents turned heartbreak into hope, building one of the nation’s largest Down syndrome programs.
This blog continues that mission. It’s a place to celebrate success stories—first steps, new friendships, big milestones, and everyday victories. If you or someone you love is living proof that Every Buddy is Gold, I’d love to hear from you.
