After learning about their unborn daughter Penelope's Down syndrome diagnosis, Jake and Ashlyn Burger adopted a positive outlook, recognizing the unique blessings of their situation. They celebrate being part of the 'lucky few' and intend to raise awareness for disabilities amidst Jake's baseball career. Jake's choice of jersey number 21 symbolizes their support for the Down syndrome community, highlighting a shift in perspective shaped by personal struggles in his athletic journey. With their daughter’s arrival, the Burgers are eager to advocate for inclusivity and support those with disabilities.
"They call you the 'lucky few,' and we have learned very quickly why we are so lucky to have a child with Down syndrome."
"Now we can help this community of people with children with disabilities, and it doesn't have to be strictly Down syndrome."
