Dimitri Vallejo was slated to start Montclair High School as a 9th grader earlier this month, taking classes and mingling with other freshmen. Instead he's shuffling back and forth to hospital appointments. In August, the 14-year-old Montclair resident was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
The community and the 3Sixty Cycling Studio, located at 4 Lackawanna Plaza, are sponsoring a fundraiser for the family on Sunday, Oct. 2 from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.
The event involves a one-hour fun spinnnig class with a certified instructor. Bikes can be reserved for a contribution of at least $100. Proceeds will go to benefit this graduate of Renaissance Middle School and Watchung Elementary School by helping his family pay the costs of mounting medical and other bills.
