20 more Mammoth March miles in the books! I learned my lesson by picking the wrong shoes for the occasion but pushed through and finished. Thanks to @missy.all.over.homes for being a great hiking buddy and slowing down with me when my feet were blistered and done. We will be back again next year! by @meredithdew

Happy World Down Syndrome Day! 💛💙

The last couple of months with Jeremy have included:

– a week in the hospital with RSV
– a fun session of Special Olympics Young Athletes at Towson University led by awesome students
– a sleep study
– time at a homeschool coop where he is fully included with his peers and treated with dignity and respect
– pulmonology visits
– local sports teams turning him down for participation because he has Down syndrome
– finding a dentist who can safely treat him with his heart condition
– loads of love and fun

A lot of learning. A lot of advocating. A lot of figuring things out as we go.

I’m really grateful we’re not doing that alone.

Organizations like the National Down Syndrome Society @ndssorg, The Down Syndrome Association of Maryland @dsamaryland, and our wonderful community of local Down syndrome families have made it possible for us to understand what to look for and how to care for Jeremy well.

This year, I’m running the Chicago Marathon @chimarathon to support that work. I’ll be sharing more about my training along the way, and I’d love to have you be part of it.

It would be extra special if over the next few days we could reach $1,000 in donations toward our marathon goal of $3,000. That could be 50 people giving $21 for Trisomy 21 or 5-10 people giving $321 to help us reach our goal even faster! Your gift is tax deductible through the link in my bio or I’m happy to personally donate your gift if it’s easier for you to pass your donation to me directly.

Thank you for your support and for following us on our journey!

🎉 Six years old 🎉

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthing day to me!

You’ve taught me not to play small. To advocate well for you and for myself. To take the leaps. To never hold myself back. To be my best self.

You are funny and caring, and the world is so much better because you are in it.

I can’t wait to watch you grow and thrive this year! by @meredithdew

💙 It’s hard to believe that Jeremy is about to turn 6, and I’ve been adventuring with him for over half a decade. We’ve been surrounded by our community every step of the way.

💛 A year ago, I decided that my kids need the healthier version of me, so I started walking. And walking turned to jogging. And jogging turned to running. Which turned to me signing up for my first 5k. And then a 20 mile hike. And then a 10 mile race. And a 12 mile race. And a 100k trek in Spain. And a half marathon.

💙 And now I’m getting ready for my first marathon - I’ve registered to run the Chicago Marathon on October 11! Jeremy and I will be training together, and I knew that the best way to celebrate all that he has brought to my life and all that our community has done to support us on our journey was to run as a part of the @ndssorg charity team.

💛 I’m hopeful that each of my friends would be willing to donate either $21, to represent Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) or $47, to represent Jeremy’s 47 chromosomes (most of us are only lucky enough to get 46!) and all of the beauty that Down syndrome brings to our world while supporting research, advocacy, and resources for individuals with Down syndrome.

💙 Stay tuned for more updates, and visit the link in my bio to give a tax deductible gift toward our marathon team! If it’s easier for you to give directly, I’m happy to include your gift in my overall giving and to keep you updated as our training progresses!

Such great together time today. We finally got our Christmas tree, and we are all working as a team to get stronger and better mentally and physically. Juliette made some bomb ramen today when we got home from running and some homemade hot cocoa after we got our tree. 🎄🏃🏻‍♀️ by @meredithdew

There’s something special about a Baltimore sunrise after a new soul enters the world. It’s such an honor and privilege to get to witness couples walking the journey of birth and parenting together. Welcome baby girl 💕 by @meredithdew
