Ruby Tuesday Too is back as we scramble to find the favored hue of red. I found mine yesterday morning on the beach walkway in West haven CT at a fundraiser for our local disability rights non-profit, CDR, the Wheel-a-Thon. It is a walk and/or wheelchair roll; not competitive but to raise awareness about disabilities as well as funds for college scholarships. And for those who try to ambulate via wheelchair on the route  - even the strongest individual has to strain to push a heavy (40 lb/18 kg) hospital style wheelchair along broken pavement. But fun was had by all on a beautiful morning by Long Island Sound. Fun and awareness go hand in hand...see Patti's Newspaper Blog Post for more pics of the event...
