Community Spirit Shines at the Main Street Marathon of Hunterdon: A Weekend of Hope and Impact

This past October, the streets of Clinton, NJ, came alive with the unmistakable energy of determination, support, and community as participants, volunteers, and spectators gathered for the Main Street Marathon of Hunterdon. The two-day event was a resounding success, uniting the community in the fight against cancer and raising an incredible $30,000 for the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center.

The festivities began on Saturday, October 19th, at the Red Mill Museum Village, where the Main Street Expo set the tone for a weekend to remember. Families explored the bustling vendor area, enjoyed live music, and sipped on craft brews from Sunken Silo Brew Works. Kids raced through the Superhero Sprint, and laughter filled the air as attendees embraced the autumn vibes of Main Street. The evening closed with the always-popular “Haunted Mill,” which left visitors in awe and excitement for the day ahead.

On Sunday, October 20th, Race Day dawned crisp and clear, providing perfect conditions for runners tackling the scenic Half Marathon and 4 Miler courses. Participants took to the streets, winding their way through Hunterdon County’s picturesque countryside. From seasoned runners to first-time participants, every step taken symbolized strength, determination, and support for those battling cancer.

Hunterdon Hematology Oncology was proud to be an integral part of the weekend, hosting a hydration station that kept participants fueled and encouraged along the course. Team members handed out water, cheered on runners, and embodied the spirit of community that defines this event. The station became a hub of positivity, with smiles, high-fives, and heartfelt words of encouragement exchanged throughout the day.

One of the key highlights of the event weekend was the $30,000 raised for the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center. Members of the Hunterdon Hematology Oncology team proudly accepted the oversized check on behalf of the center, a powerful reminder of the collective impact of the community’s efforts. The funds will go directly toward providing critical services, resources, and care for cancer patients and their families in the region.

The event wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible dedication of the volunteers, the enthusiasm of the participants, and the unwavering support of the community. From the runners who braved the course to the cheer squads who lined the streets, every individual played a role in making the weekend unforgettable.

The Main Street Marathon of Hunterdon is more than just a race—it’s a testament to the strength and unity of our community. The funds raised, the bonds forged, and the memories made will leave a lasting impact on everyone involved and, most importantly, on the lives of those supported by the Hunterdon Regional Cancer Center.

Go Pink with Hunterdon Hematology Oncology and Hunterdon Health on October 16th!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year, Hunterdon Hematology Oncology is teaming up with Hunterdon Health to launch a powerful initiative called “Go Pink!” to raise awareness and inspire action in our community. Together, we are making strides in the fight against breast cancer—and we’re calling on YOU to join us.

Mark Your Calendar: Wednesday, October 16th, 2024

Let’s unite as a community to make an impact! On Wednesday, October 16th, wear pink to show your support for breast cancer awareness. Whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go, your pink outfit will send a bold message: early detection saves lives.

Why “Go Pink”?

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers among women, but early detection significantly increases the chance of successful treatment. By wearing pink, you’re not only showing solidarity with those who have faced this disease but also helping to spark conversations that could save lives.

The Best Protection is Early Detection

Scheduling regular mammograms is one of the most important steps women can take to protect their health. Mammograms can detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear, giving patients more treatment options and better outcomes.

We encourage you to remind the women in your life—your mothers, sisters, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, co-workers, neighbors, and friends—to schedule their mammogram today. It’s simple to do! Visit www.hhscheduling.org to book an appointment.

Get Involved and Share the Pink Spirit!

We want to see how you, your school, organization, or business are supporting this important cause. On October 16th:

Wear pink and gather your friends, family, or co-workers for a photo.
Share your pink-themed photos with us! Email them to [email protected], and include your first name or your organization, company, or school name.
By submitting your photo, you grant permission for Hunterdon Health to feature it on their social media pages, inspiring others to join the movement.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

At Hunterdon Hematology Oncology, we are committed to delivering the most effective and cutting-edge cancer treatments while maintaining an exceptional quality of care close to home. Events like Go Pink! reflect our dedication not only to treating cancer but also to building awareness and fostering prevention in the communities we serve.

Let’s unite on October 16th to show that together, we can fight breast cancer. Wear pink, spread the word, and encourage those you love to take the vital step of scheduling their mammogram. Every action counts—and your participation matters.

Help spread the pink spirit and raise awareness. Together, we can save lives.
