Get ready for a sea of pink this Saturday, Oct. 25 as the Relay for Life of the Florida Keys Hope Walk returns to its old route along U.S. 1.
Switching from its recent home at Crane Point Museum and Nature Center back to the Marathon Fire Rescue station, the 2025 walk will once again raise awareness and show patients and survivors of any type of cancer that no one walks alone.
Locals and visitors alike are encouraged to form a team or solicit solo donations, payable by scanning the QR code until the end of the calendar year. Check-in starts at 7:30 a.m. at the fire station at 8900 Overseas Highway, and the walk begins promptly at 8. As always, the more pink and purple in your outfit, the better.
“Cancer doesn’t stop, and we don’t either,” said event co-organizer Shayne Messina, whose husband Armand will emcee the event along with “Mr. Marathon” Mike Puto. “The support this year from community groups has been absolutely amazing, we should have great weather, and we’re back at the fire house.”
