Things to remember from Andrew:
Wear comfortable clothing (his Group Hug Apparel shirts are pretty cool to wear), be prepared for the weather, drink plenty of water and most importantly is to smile and have fun because a posititve perspective on life is everything. I was born with Down syndrome but that doesn't define who I am or stop me from living life tot the fullest.
Enjoy your walk.
♥ ~ Andrew
