My husband, Ralph, rolls along Sunday at the 10th annual Wheel-A-Thon along the shore in West Haven to benefit the Center for Disability Rights.
The morning started out overcast but the clouds soon parted and the sun shone for most of the event.
CDR Executive Director Marc Anthony Gallucci said more than $10,000 had been raised.
The proceeds fund scholarships and advocacy for disabled youths and youth transition services in the nonprofit's catchment area.
The event also serves to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by those living with disabilities.
One of the teams that raised the most money poses in front of Savin Rock Conference Center. At right in pirate hat is Marc Anthony Gallucci, executive director, Center for Disability Rights.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The landmark legislation prohibits discrimination against the disabled.
It's a beautiful area for a walk, especially when the weather cooperates!
