MURRAY, Utah (ABC4) — Murray’s own Sammi Wilde had the amazing opportunity to have her picture of the big screens of Times Square in New York City.

This past weekend the National Down Syndrome Society hosted their 31st NYC Buddy Walk. To kick off the walk, they show a video with pictures of 500 people with Down syndrome from across the world. And this year, Sammi had a chance to shine.
