Walk Ambassador

Our 2019 Walk Ambassador is David DeSanctis!!  

David co-starred in ”Where Hope Grows”, which was in theaters around the country in the spring of 2015.

In high school, David co-anchored a news program and had a monthly cooking segment, which fueled his interest in acting. 

He participates in Special Olympics (basketball, softball, golf, and bowling), rows with the Louisville Adaptive Rowing Team, loves a good game of tennis and rides bikes often with his family. He has been involved in the Best Buddies Program since 2009.

He is presently working part time for National Down Syndrome Society based in Washington DC as their Public Relations Outreach Associate.

He was appointed to the Commonwealth Council on Developmental Disabilities in 2016.

David has been traveling the country the last three years giving inspirational/ motivational speeches. 

He loves to share his story through speeches that involve inspirational lyrics from current favorite songs. While the lyrics are being heard, he will entertain the crowd with his dances. He has entertained at galas, national conferences, conventions, fund raising events, transition fairs, nursing homes, and schools.
