Walter Rings Bell and is Cancer Free Heading into the Summer
DURHAM — Through the Team IMPACT program, the Duke wrestling team was paired with a special young man for the 2023-24 campaign, James Walter.  
Walter is a student at Holly Ridge Middle School in Holly Springs, N.C., that had been diagnosed with early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia lymphoma in December of 2021 and has been fighting the terrible disease since.  
Recently Walter’s fight paid off as he rang the bell at the Duke Children’s Hospital and heads into the summer cancer free.  He plans to resume more normal activities and hopes to resume playing basketball and football for the Holly Ridge Hornets.  
“James and his family have been a great addition to the Duke wrestling program,” said Duke head coach Glen Lanham.  “When our guys are competing in the classroom and on the mat, the struggles that James and his family go through on a daily basis put a lot of what our student-athletes are going through in perspective.  James has just given us a great example for living each day to the fullest.” … more at … GOduke.com/Walter-rings-bell-and-is-cancer-free-heading-into-the-summer
