Lewis raises funds for Arthritis Walk

Spirits were high at the April 30 Danbury Walk to Cure Arthritis.

Numerous residents of the greater New Milford area attended the event, which featured New Milford youth Bryce Lewis as the walks youth honoree.

Bryce, 11, was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis at age 5 at Connecticut Childrens Medical Center, after waking one morning and not being able to move.

Bryces team, Bryces Battle Droids named after one of his favorite movies, Star Wars raised just over $4,000.

The national walked raised $5,896,059.

The local walk included a three-mile and one-mile course, activities for the entire family and stories shared by local honorees.

In addition to raising funds for the walk, Bryce raised funds by presenting a screening of Star Wars last month, and donated books about juvenile arthritis to the library and local elementary schools.

Joining Bryce as an honoree were adult honoree Barbara Duffin, of New Fairfield, who has lived with rheumatoid arthritis for over 10 years, and medical honoree Dr. Richard Roseff, of Danbury, a rheumatologist.
