WEST HAVEN -The annual Wheel-A-Thon is a fund-raising and community awareness campaign to benefit the youth programs and activities of the Center for Disability Rights, 369 Highland St., and its partners.

The 2018 Wheel-A-Thon will be held from 6-8:30 p.m. July 24 at Savin Rock Conference Center, 5 Rock St.

The money raised during the 2017 Wheel-A-Thon provided Summer Empowerment Camp opportunities to nine high school juniors and seniors and provided five Wheel-A-Thon Scholarships.

Individuals who are not part of a team but who raise at least $25 for young people with disabilities can participate in the CDR Wheel-A-Thon as individuals.

*On a personal note, my husband Ralph, who has a form of Muscular Dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, serves on CDR's board of directors. The event is always a good time and an easy one-mile route, even in the hot weather!
