Wrestlers Fund Raise for Cancer-Fighting Girl

High School, College athletes come together to help Margaret Walling and her family.

Wrestlers from The Tiger Wrestling Club and Centenary College are joining forces to help a local student this weekend in a major way.

Margaret Walling is a Hackettstown sixth grader who was recently diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. The young lady is currently undergoing treatments to rid the mass.

Those treatments, however, are five days a week for more than six weeks. The Walling family must commute daily to receive the therapies, forcing mounting travel expenses.
