Help With a Team Name

We are starting to gear up for the Buddy walk again this year…before we have never really picked a team name and stuck with it each year…but I really want too..so I am asking help from all of you….Here is what I came up with so far…
                 *All about Avery…bc thats what its all about:)
                 *Avery’s Amigos…bc everyone walking is Avery’s friend..she loves them all
                 *Avery’s Angels… reflects the many special people that have watched over Avery, since even before she made her way in this world.
                 *Monkey Marchers…bc the girl LOVES Curious George..and monkeys:)
My favorite one is….
                 *Avery’s Army…If you look up the definition of army in the dictionary, it reads something like “a large organized body of armed personnel trained for war… a unit capable of independent action.” Though it is not a traditional war we fight, individuals with Down syndrome still face prejudice and preconceived notions of what they are capable of.  I know this first hand after one of our many “wars” with the school these past few months..Our family was drafted into “service” the day Avery was born with Down syndrome. Without knowing her diagnosis before that day, our lives soon became what seemed like a cross between medical school and boot camp and lawyer school to follow later. With the support of doctors, specialists and an endless supply of caring family and friends we began to build an army upon a foundation of unconditional love and understanding.
So what do you all think??? What is your favorite one?? Or do you have any other suggestions???? Please help!!Smile
