Amazing young people

MDSC Weekly Update: "Falmouth's Tracey Newhart, 28, who after gaining attention for a dispute regarding her MCAS scores years ago, has gone on to open her very own catering business, called Tracey's Kitchen. She makes cakes, cookies and other baked goods for all special occasions. Tracey is getting ready for the Buddy Walk by the Sea with walks around her East Falmouth neighborhood. In addition to Down syndrome, she has Grave's disease, which causes extreme fatigue. 'With her Grave's disease, the doctor said the one mile will feel like ten to her,' says Tracey's mother Pat. 'It will be her first Buddy Walk without a wheelchair.' "
