‘Dragonfly Dash’ 5K run, 2-mile walk to honor Ansonia girl, 6, killed by car

ANSONIA >> The community is invited to lace up their sneakers for a cause in honor of 6-year old Leah Rondon, who was killed by a car last summer.

Cook said she and Leah’s mother, Colleen, came up with the name “Dragonfly Dash” based on a story that was told at Leah’s funeral.

“What I hope to accomplish by organizing this road race is that we bring the Mead School community, Ansonia community, as well as the Valley community together to remember Leah,” Cook said. All proceeds will benefit “Leah’s Fund” at the Valley Community Foundation to support Ansonia youth.

Leah’s parents, Colleen and Henry Rondon, serve as president and vice-president of Ansonia Little League, and Leah was a constant fixture at games and practices.
