Ethan Saunders wasn't the youngest runner to complete the Pear Blossom Run's 10-miler on Saturday, but he surely was among the toughest.
The 9-year-old Central Point boy missed out on the "youngest" distinction by four months to Eagle Point's James Gros, also 9 and who also finished the race.
Saunders ran under trying circumstances. He has had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 5 and, just last October, needed injections in his knees and feet when the arthritis flared up to the point he could barely walk.
But there he was in the Pear Blossom, for the most part running, side by side with his mother, Katrina.
"It went good, we finished," she said. "Ethan suffered through lots of pain in his left foot. I kept asking him if he wanted me to give him a piggyback ride, but he said, 'No, Mom, I'm gonna finish."
BY ADAM JOSEPH DRICI Staff Writer EAST BRUNSWICK - Township resident Christine Citera will take her place as the Young Adult Honoree at the 2012 Arthritis Walk next month at Middlesex County College, but she will be taking part in another important walk as well.
Six years after she first enrolled, Citera will be graduating from Rutgers University with a degree in sociology and criminal justice ."It means more to me now that I have had to take so much time off," she said.
Citera, now 23, was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when she was only 12 and has spent the last 11 years not letting her treatments - like the two back surgeries that forced her to take time off from college - get in the way of her life.
"It kind of gives you more motivation to do more because you do not want to be sitting at home in pain," she said."You want to be out interacting with people, getting something done."
