Local girl raises $600 to fight arthritis

Sparta - Seven-year-old Victoria (Tori) Munro walked with her family in the Arthritis Walk at Bergen County Community College on Sunday, May 21. In the days prior to the walk, Tori, who was diagnosed with polyarticular juvenile arthritis at age two, stood in front of local stores and collected donations for the Arthritis Foundation. She used that opportunity to discuss the importance of finding a cure for arthritis, and altogether her team raised $602.66. This was her second year participating in the Arthritis Walk. Tori, a first grade student at Helen Morgan School in Sparta, expressed thanks to everyone who contributed to her team.
