Liam Gaffney Will Help Kick Off Down Syndrome Awareness Month in Unique Annual Video Presentation
Liam Gaffney, age 1, of Lincroft, will appear in the bright lights of Broadway on Saturday, September 15 as part of the National Down Syndrome Society’s (NDSS) annual Times Square Video presentation. The featured photographs highlight children, teens, and adults with Down syndrome, reminding the world in a very big way about the contributions and milestones of people with Down syndrome. These collective images promote the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome.
The photo of Liam was selected from more than 2,400 entries in the NDSS worldwide call for photos. Almost 500 photographs will appear in the video, which will be shown in the heart of Times Square.
The Times Square Video presentation kicks off Down Syndrome Awareness Month in October. The video presentation will be followed by the 24th Annual Flagship Buddy Walk in New York City. This year, Buddy Walk events will be held in more than 275 cities across the country, as well as select international locations, in and around October with over 325,000 people participating around the globe.
For more information about the NDSS Buddy Walk Program, visit buddywalk.org or call 800.221.4602.
