MILFORD — The Connecticut Center for Child Development and Road & Track Sports has teamed up to raise money for children with autism. They will be co-sponsoring a fundraising trip to the Dublin Marathon in Dublin, Ireland, in October. Deadline to register is July 15.

Wallie Jahn, the owner of Road & Track Sports, a running specialty store in New Milford, is chairing this fundraising event and will be assisting with training marathon runners who participate.
