Cricket Legend Sir Curtly Ambrose to Join Community Walk Supporting Early Detection and Treatment for Underserved Populations
-- Let's Save Ma, in partnership with NJ Primary Care and Sanskriti of New Jersey, announces a special Breast Cancer Awareness Walk to honor Gandhi Jayanti on Sunday, October 5, 2025. The 3K community walk will take place from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM at The Gazebo at Memorial Oval Park, located at 7-9 Civic Center Road in Livingston, New Jersey.
The event will feature a special appearance by cricket legend Sir Curtly Ambrose, the legendary West Indies fast bowler, who will join community members in walking to support breast cancer awareness and early detection initiatives that serve both local New Jersey communities and remote villages in Gujarat, India.
A Mission of Service and Impact
The walk embodies Mahatma Gandhi's timeless words: "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." This community gathering honors Gandhi Jayanti while addressing the critical need for breast cancer education and screening among underserved populations.
Let's Save Ma has demonstrated remarkable impact in its recent campaigns, with 98% of fundraising dollars directly utilized to drive breast cancer awareness initiatives. From March 2024 to March 2025, the organization has achieved significant milestones including recruiting over 50 female physician volunteers, impacting more than 21,200 underprivileged women through education and screening programs, and detecting 12 abnormal cases with free treatments currently in progress.
"We are honored to have Sir Curtly Ambrose join our mission," said Dr. Deval Gadhvi founder of Let's Save Ma. "His presence emphasizes that the fight against breast cancer transcends all boundaries – geographic, cultural, and social. Early detection truly saves lives, and community support makes our mission possible."
Comprehensive Community Outreach
The Let's Save Ma initiative serves a dual mission, providing crucial breast cancer education and screening services to remote villages and minorities in Gujarat, India, while simultaneously supporting underprivileged groups in Essex and Hudson counties in New Jersey. This comprehensive approach has resulted in organizing 46 educational and mammogram screening camps and distributing over 5,000 pieces of breast cancer education material.
NJ Primary Care's partnership brings additional medical expertise and resources to ensure that local New Jersey residents have access to quality breast cancer awareness education and referral services when needed. This collaboration strengthens the organization's ability to serve diverse communities with culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate health information.
Event Details and Community Participation
The 3K walk welcomes participants of all ages, encouraging families to join together in supporting this vital cause. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult, while teens and adults are invited to bring fellow walkers to expand community engagement. Participants are encouraged to wear pink to show their support for breast cancer awareness.
Registration fees are set at $15 for adults and $5 for teens and children. Early bird participants who register before August 15, 2025, will receive a complimentary event t-shirt. Sanskriti School students and parents receive complimentary registration, as their community service fees have already supported the Let's Save Ma initiative at the beginning of the school year.
For those unable to attend the walk, donation opportunities remain available, with Sanskriti of New Jersey pledging to match collected contributions to maximize impact for this noble cause.
Parking and Logistics
Event organizers have arranged multiple convenient parking options to accommodate expected community turnout. Participants may park around the oval, at the library, Madonna Drive turf lot, LHS Science building parking lot, LHS football field lot, or the Town Hall lot across the street. The lot at St. Philomena's Church will not be available for parking.
Special Guest: Sir Curtly Ambrose
