|  | Buddy Walk held at the Arboretum, BrainerdOn Saturday, November 8th, seventy-two people participated in an event to support children, adults and their families with disabilities in the Buddy Walk on the grounds of the Arboretum in Brainerd. The event focuses on children and adults with Down Syndrome. Nearly $5,600 was raised with the mayor of Brainerd as well as Representative John Ward in attendance. Also attending and walking was a delegation of youth from Salem Lutheran Church in Longville. They were motivated to action because there are several families in the congregation that have children with Down Syndrome. Pictured above is Team Lolo, including the Raines family of Remer-Longville, and the Hardinger family of Brainerd, surrounded by Salem Youth. In the middle, Lauren Hardinger, nicknamed "Lolo", who at 11 months old, motivated Salem Youth to attend the Buddy Walk. – photo submitted by Rebecca Waterhouse | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
