๐ŸŒŸ Presenting Sponsor Spotlight: Sunrun ๐ŸŒŸ
Weโ€™re honored to welcome Sunrun as one of our Mission Commander Presenting Sponsors for this yearโ€™s Walk for a Million Dreams! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ’›

Leading the way is Carlos Paredes and his incredible family โ€” including Liam, a joyful cowboy with a heart as big as the open sky ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ’™, and his big brother Troy, whoโ€™s been by his side every step of the way.

Liamโ€™s family has been part of Kern Down Syndrome Network since the very beginning โ€” walking with us for nearly a decade, growing alongside our community, and reminding us every year why we do what we do. ๐ŸŒˆโœจ

With the support of Liamโ€™s family, and the amazing Sunrun team, theyโ€™ve gone above and beyond โ€” raising over $8,000 in just 24 hours and rallying their entire team to walk, celebrate, and uplift the Down syndrome community. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ซ

Their journey is a beautiful reflection of love, hope, and dedication โ€” and we are so grateful for the light they bring to KDSN and the families we serve. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Thank you, Sunrun, Carlos, Blanca, Troy, and especially Liam, for showing us what it means to dream big, love deeply, and walk together. ๐ŸŒŸ
