Sharon’s Ride to celebrate 20 Years in San Diego

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Sunday, March 26th marks the 20th annual Sharon’s Ride, a 15-mile bike ride featuring a scenic route along Mission Bay. The event also includes a 5K run / walk, followed by a finish line BBQ and celebration along the waterfront.

Wendy Urushima-Conn is the new Executive Director of the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County, which leads the fight to stop seizures, find a cure for epilepsy and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy through education, advocacy and research.

The event is a tribute to Sharon Rosenfeld, a nurse and a teacher, who cared deeply about people with epilepsy and advocated helmet safety. She was killed on a cross country bicycle ride in 1993.

All proceeds directly support the Epilepsy Foundation’s free educational and informational services, as well as trainings throughout the community.
