Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society Podcast LDSSGA

We speak with Mark and John Cronin of John's Crazy Socks.  John’s Crazy Socks is a father-son venture inspired by co-founder John Lee Cronin, a young man with Down syndrome. John’s affinity for crazy socks paired with his love of making people smile made their mission clear: they want to spread happiness.  

We also speak to Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society member Austin Smith and his success mastering karate at Pooler Karate.

We talk with Shannon Turner of StoryMuse for our family meeting.  Shannon has made it her life's work to elevate and spotlight those that are marginalized through the telling of their stories.  We are partnering with her to have the Savannah roadshow this June 25th, 2021. 

We start off our 2020 Virtual Buddy Walk with a special welcome from Jamie Deen, the national anthem sung by Summer Smith, and a countdown from our supporters.  We hope you enjoy Buddy Walk Virtual 2020.
