Middlesex County Plans Annual Pancreatic Cancer Walk at Roosevelt Park in 2025
The Middlesex County administration announced the October 4, 2025 Pancreatic Cancer Walk in Edison’s Roosevelt Park. The county is hosting this community event to raise money, awareness, and hope for pancreatic cancer patients. The Office of Health Services organizes individual, family, and group walks.
The walk begins at 9:30 a.m., and registration opens at 8:30. By noon, it should end. It costs $25 to enroll in person. Pre-registration costs $20. You can join for the same price. Rutgers studies pancreatic cancer and benefits patients with every donation.
Roosevelt Park in Edison Park is Middlesex County’s oldest municipal park with 217 acres. Walk, have lunch, play sports, and enjoy the gorgeous walks. Easy to reach and convenient for major events. The park hosts health and community events due to its history and facilities.
Its odd symptoms make this malignancy one of the trickiest to diagnose and treat. malignancy doctors name it “stealthy” because symptoms may not appear until the malignancy is advanced. Losing weight without trying, back or stomach ache, diabetes, not wanting to eat, and sunburn are indications. Patients are generally diagnosed late and have few treatment options since vague symptoms can mimic less serious diseases.
Disease will kill more black men and women. Poverty, lack of health care, the environment, smoking, obesity, chronic pancreatitis, and diabetes are blamed. Smoking causes 25% of pancreatic cancer.
Doctors diagnose with imaging, blood testing, and tissue samples. Early growth removal surgery isn’t for everyone. You can choose immunotherapy, radiation, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. If your family has a lot of pancreatic cancer, doctors recommend quitting smoking, eating healthy, exercising, and getting genetic advice.
Middlesex County wants this walk to discuss a family issue and earn money for research. This disease’s patients honor them and work to find, treat, and cure it. Community involvement should raise awareness, fund local research, and unite survivors, caregivers, and allies for pancreatic cancer.
