The Ronan Family
Meet the Ronan Family from Kirkland!
“We learned about the DSC when our daughter Frannie (now 12) was about 3 years old. We have participated in so many of the programs and events that the DSC offers – the Learning Program, Puberty & Adolescence Program, Friends’ groups, Moms’ Nights Out, Dads’ events, many Puget Sound Buddy Walks, Sweetheart Dances, Fashion Shows, Talent Shows, Holiday Parties, and Megarama Days. Becky served on the Board of Directors for 6 years and loved working with other people who were passionate about the DSC’s mission. Mike and our daughter Bella (21) have volunteered at many Buddy Walks and Sweetheart Dances.
We have made life-long friends through the DSC and love this community. Our journey with Down syndrome began long before Frannie was born. Becky’s brother, Kevin, also has Down syndrome. He is 54 and lives in Minnesota. Organizations like the DSC didn’t exist for families in the late 1960s when Kevin was born. We are grateful to the founders of the DSC who recognized the need for community connections for their children with Down syndrome as well as for themselves. What started as an informal group of families almost 30 years ago getting together to form community, has grown over the years to an organization providing essential programs and fun community-building social events. We feel so fortunate to be a part of this community and benefit from all that the DSC offers. We can’t wait to be able to gather once again and see our friends at our favorite events!”
Tune in to DSC's Social Media on Fridays for #DSCFamilyFridays!
Each week we will be spotlighting a new family!
