Cross Wasilewski, a third grader at Lake Parsippany Elementary, has been wrestling for the Parsippany Wrestling Club for four years and is seeking pledges for his cause to ‘pin’ cancer.

“One of my students is promoting cancer awareness and raising money for cancer research and hospitals,” said Cavan Londergan, Lake Parsippany School Counselor.
