Fourth annual Walk for Hope to take place on October 4, 2025

The fourth annual Walk for Hope, a community event to honor cancer survivors, caregivers and those we've lost, will take place on Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Mary and Dick Heimann Cancer Center in Medford.

This event is free for participants; all are welcome to join in a 1.5-mile walk around Rogue Regional Medical Center's campus. The day begins with registration at 9:30 a.m., followed by an opening ceremony at 11 a.m. and concludes with a finish line celebration featuring music by Rogue Suspects, local food trucks and fun activities for the entire family.

The Heimann Cancer Center in Medford and Helen K. Spears Cancer Center in Grants Pass serve as vital resources for patients across nine counties in southern Oregon and northern California. The facilities provide comprehensive services all in one convenient location, allowing patients to receive treatment close to home.

"We are honored to walk beside our patients and their families. Each step reflects our shared commitment to support treatments, advance care and unite our communities in the fight against cancer," said Andrea Reeder, SVP and Chief Philanthropy Officer at Asante.

Since its start in 2022, Walk for Hope has raised $850,000 to support patients, programs and services. Sponsorships and donations directly support patient services, helping provide critical resources to those who are facing cancer.
