Rex and Jennifer participate in many activities with their four children, Alyssa, Cade, William and David. They have been married since 1988.

On November 4, 1996, Rex and Jennifer had a beautiful, healthy baby boy named Cade Allan, who was diagnosed with Down syndrome. They believed then, as they do now, that Cade was a gift and had a special purpose in life. The Hudlers founded Team Up For Down Syndrome to help support the Down syndrome community and those with special needs.

It is Rex and Jennifer's hope that by sharing their own experience, more parents will celebrate their children's lives and help them reach their best potential.
