On November 18 2009 at 4:02 am William Alan Bartosch was joyfully welcomed into our family. He weighed in at 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 in long. We were stunned to discover that he was born with Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome. We love him unconditionally from the top of his toe-head to the tips of his toes. We know that this diagnosis will not define him. He is a happy, healthy little boy that just happens to have an extra chromosome.



Follow us on this unexpected and exciting journey as we learn how to live life Will's Way.

Buddy Walk 2011

The 2011 Buddy Walk was a huge success and a great time!  We raised $2734 with the generous support of all our family and friends and we can not thank you enough!  We really appreciate all the amazing donations to Team Will's Way and all the words of support.  A big thank you to all those that came and walked with us.  It is an amazing day!  The love and comfort we felt that day from being surrounded by not only our own friends and family, but also our DSACO family is overwhelming.  To see all the amazing families there that are 'walking the walk' with us is so inspiring!  Just being there among all the other families that also have been blessed with a loved one with an extra chromosome, reminds us that we are not alone and gives me a lot of strength to go on.  We hope that next year even more of our friends and family will come walk with us and experience what it means to take a Buddy Walk:)
Thank you again for all of the support we recieved for the walk and always.  It lifts us up!
