11th Annual Pound the Pavement for Pancreatic Cancer Walk/Run to be held on September 28th in Neptune

originally published: 09/03/2024


(NEPTUNE, NJ) -- The 11th annual Pound the Pavement for Purple 5K Run/2 Mile Walk, presented by the Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners and the Neptune Township Committee in support of the Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2024.

The event will begin and end at The Headliner located at 1401 Route 35 in Neptune.

“I would like to thank my fellow Commissioners and the Neptune Township Committee for hosting this incredible event. As a co-founder of this run, I am thankful for everyone’s commitment to raising awareness and funds for research that can extend and improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, as well as to offer support for patients and their families,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “To date, Pound the Pavement has raised more than $400,000 for pancreatic cancer research and we could not be prouder of the work being done to support this important cause. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Pound the Pavement run on Sept. 28!”

Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States and is the deadliest major cancer, with a five-year survival rate of just 13 percent, according to 2024 statistics from the American Cancer Society.

Proceeds from the run/walk will support the Lustgarten Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing research related to the diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of pancreatic cancer, as well as providing information to patients and their caregivers. The Foundation was named in honor of Marc Lustgarten, a former Cablevision vice chairman who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed away in 1999.
