Bodhi Shines in Times Square | Santa Fe News

An eight-year-old prodigy from Albuquerque, Bodhi Candelaria, stole the show in Times Square—featured on a giant jumbotron during the National Down Syndrome Society’s annual Buddy Walk kickoff. One of 500 global ambassadors chosen to represent the Down syndrome community, Bodhi’s moment was both heartwarming and historic. His mom beamed with pride, while Bodhi himself was more focused on catching “The Lion King” on Broadway. This marks his second year in the spotlight—and for 26 years, this dazzling display has celebrated the vibrant, unstoppable spirit of people with Down syndrome, drawing thousands to the streets for a day of joy, visibility, and unshakable love.
