A man who defied all odds to participate in and complete the New York City Marathon in 2009 will be the featured speaker Thursday at a meeting of the Center for Disability Rights.
The West Haven-based nonprofit will welcome John Tartaglio to its membership meeting at 6 p.m. at Savin Rock Conference Center, 5 Rock St., West Haven.
In 2004 at the age of 17 Tartaglio lost both legs and a bicep to a rare bacterial infection. He went on to graduate cum laude from Fairfield University and earn a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Connecticut.
Tartaglio will share his inspiring life story with members and friends of the Center for Disability Rights.
The Valley is a part of the nonprofit organization's catchment area. The public is invited and encouraged to attend.
Note: CDR members in good standing who stay for the entire event will receive a copy of Tartaglio’s book. He will have books for sale for non-members, the general public, and members who would like to purchase additional copies.
