Bloomfield Teen Remembered With Cancer Awareness Walk

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center will host the “2nd Annual Pediatric Cancer Awareness Walk” on Sunday, Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon.

The three-mile fundraising walk will begin at Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center 240 Belleville Avenue in Bloomfield.

According to a news release from organizers, the event will benefit Cycle for Survival team “Megan's Miracle Makers,” a group of family and friends that had rode throughout the country since 2013 in memory of Megan Macaluso, a Bloomfield native who lost her battle to a rare pediatric cancer at 19-years-old.
