2020 Step to Accept Champion-Audra Lembke

2020 Step to Accept Champion

Audra Lembke is thrilled to champion the inaugural Step to Accept Virtual Run Walk & Ride.  Her six-year old daughter Makenna has Down syndrome.  The Lembke family was one of the first families to join GiGi’s when it opened in 2015 in Indianapolis.

“Makenna was the biggest shock of our lives,” Audra recalls. “We found out she had Down syndrome at birth. Fortunately, I was introduced to a group of local moms who were working to open GiGi’s. The Playhouse has afforded us many great friendships over the years.”

A critical care nurse at Franciscan Health, Audra and her husband Geoff also have nine-year old and infant son.

“We are very much looking forward to this new approach at fundraising,” Audra says. “What a great way to connect to our Playhouse during this time of social distancing. We can’t wait to Zoom with our family and friends while we walk on June 6th. We hope you’ll join us!”
