Last month, I had the great pleasure to help promote and participate in the 7th Annual “A Ride of Inspiration” event to help support a wonderful organization called DS Action.
DS Action is a group of parents, grandparents, doctors, educators, registered nurses, social workers, and business professionals that are interested in improving the quality of life of all people with Down Syndrome. The group has grown quickly and now serves families in the entire Southern California region and neighboring jurisdictions in Mexico.

One of the many accomplishments achieved by DS Action was the formation of a Down Syndrome Center at Rady Children’s Hospital where all children with Down syndrome can receive specialized care.
The Ride of Inspiration event is a charity motorcycle event, car show, carnival, and community festival which supports DS Action and the Down Syndrome Center. The successful event generated thousands of dollars to support the organization
I have been thoroughly impressed by the volunteers of DS Action and their selfless efforts to help San Diego families. In order for important organizations like DS Action to stay effective and thrive, it is important to receive the support of the community.
