The Cancer Institute of New Jersey Foundation, 120 Albany St., New Brunswick, will host the Take a Breath for Kenny Memorial 3K Walkathon Nov. 8, at Roosevelt Park, Route 1, Edison.
Check-in will be held 9-10 a.m. and the walk starts at 10:15 a.m.
The event will feature T-shirts, musical entertainment and refreshments. Registration is $20 for walkers age 21 and over and $10 for those age 20 and younger.
Proceeds will benefit lung cancer research at The Cancer Institute of New Jersey. The event is being held in memory of Kenneth W. Patton Sr., an Edison police lieutenant who lost his life to the disease in November 2007. Started by Patton’s daughter Tracey, the event raised $7,500 last year for lung cancer research at CINJ.
