Jim Raffone is a fighter. So much so that he actually got into a ring with Tommy "The Tiger" Moose at a celebrity boxing event in Atlantic City. He's also walked from Washington, D.C., to Old Bridge.
Now Raffone heads north to raise money to help his son Jamsey, and others, also fighters, who suffer from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Beginning July 10, Raffone, Freehold resident Joe Ippolito and Perth Amboy resident Martin Cintron will begin their "300 Miles Of Love" journey at the University of Massachusetts, the institution that monitors Jamesy's disease. They'll walk an average of 40 miles a day, then camp out at night.
