I have been lucky enough to be involved with Alexanders Angels since the beginning, in once capacity or another. I can truly say that helping, even in such a small way, has made me a better person and helped me to be thankful for all that I have every day. The people, and especially the kids, whom I have met are all wonderful.

Alexanders Angels Inc. is a wonderful organization that not only raises money for Down Syndrome but also allows there to be a platform here on Long Island from which we can advocate and educate others about Down Syndrome. My youngest son is 4 years old and was born with Down Syndrome. He is the love of our loves! Without such an organization it would be more difficult to spread the awareness of Down Syndrome and to show other families and the community how "normal' life is. Every year at the Buddy Walk my friends and family always walk away saying what a great day it was! The turn out is spectacular; it is a fun filled day for the kids. So thank you Alexanders Angels for your continuous hard work and dedication; and most importantly for helping make the future for our beautiful kids as great as ever!

Being a father of a 33 year son with Down syndrome and a director of Research Down Syndrome (RDS) I can't say enough about the dedication and passion that Alexander's Angels brings to this cause. Understanding the link between Alzheimer's and DS is both exciting and terrifying to me at the same time. Terrifying because by the age of 40 all DS individuals develop the brain changes associated with Alzheimer's but exciting in the sense that the research that Alexander's Ange helps to fund is developing medications to fight this eventuality. I commend Alexander's Angels in educating the public about the positive aspects of Down syndrome and the fact that this world is a better place with Down syndrome people in it. I highly recommend that you join and support Alexander's Angels in its public awareness efforts and it's tireless effort of raising funding for cutting edge research. Jack Dean

We have been associated with Alexander's Angels for almost a decade. Being from Long Island, it brings us great pride to see the dedicated and important work that this organization is doing to help build a more loving and inclusive world for people with Down syndrome and other disabilities. They are truly a professional, first class organization and we look forward to our continued association for many years to come! -Chris Burke ("Corky" Life Goes On) with Joe and John DeMasi

I am the care-giver of Max, a young child who has Mosaic Down Syndrome. We learned of Alexander's Angels several years ago and our circle of extended family and friends love getting involved with the Buddy Walk. It is refreshing to see such a large, enthusiastic turnout for this wonderful event. While this event is continually a success in raising money for research, services and advocacy for people with Down Syndrome, it is especially noteworthy how much Alexander's Angels is devoted to truly highlighting the unique talents and abilities of people with Down Syndrome. It focuses on their wonderful ABILITIES rather than focusing on their disabilities.
This is so important to me because when I look at this small child, I don't see a child with disabilities. Max is only five years old, but he is a caring, funny, energetic and extremely charming child. I love watching him grow and know he will do exceptional things. Of course, you hope this for every child, but knowing what Max will eventually excel with is more of a guessing game.
Another program Alexander's Angels provides, which I have a particular love for as a photography enthusiast, is 'DOWNrightART,' which is an exhibition of the creative works of artists with Down syndrome. Seeing some of the pieces on display at the Buddy Walk led me to peruse the internet looking at photography by people with Down Syndrome and what I found was incredible. My point here is that it was stand-alone, wonderful photography and became irrelevant that the artist had a 'disability,' because of their wonderful ABILITY. I don't know what sort of interests and talents Max will consider or develop as a young man; perhaps photography or another medium of art won't be his thing…but he will find something and I have no doubt he will be incredible at it.
That is what Alexander's Angels is all about -- looking past the surface and embracing the individual.

Life is a daily struggle for alot of people, but more so for those living with Down Syndrome and their families. Since the inception of the L.I. Buddy walk in 2007 my family and I have been showing our support by walking, donating and volunteering our time for this terrific organanization. Esther Gomez and her team (Alexander's Angel's) do a fantastic job every year. Not only are they raising money and awareness for this cause, Alexander's Angel's help bring together families that are going through the same issues. It allows them to bond and share there problems and concerns with each other, it is a family of sorts and I am happy to be a part of it. Maria Polizzi

My daughter has Mosaic Down Syndrome and the annual buddy walk and Friendly's fundraiser events are some of the activities we always are involved in. Our newest location for the buddy walk, Tanner Park, was recently damaged by hurricane Sandy. I am hopeful the site that was on the beautiful Great South Bay can become more gorgeous than ever. It was my favorite location thus far. The amount of money this organization has given to research for those with Down Syndrome is extraordinary. The walks are very well organized and have gtown quite popular on Long Island.
