I'm raising money for the Dempsey Center!
Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page for this year's Dempsey Challenge!
I'm raising money for the Dempsey Center, a Maine-based nonprofit organization with locations in Lewiston and South Portland, as well as a virtual Center called Dempsey Connects which provides cancer programs and services for people beyond the borders of Maine.
The Dempsey Center makes life better for people managing the impact of cancer by easing the side effects of cancer through complementary therapies, counseling and other support services for individuals and families.
This is my 9th year participating and will be participating in the 5k. Please support me and my team "Be The Miracle," in our fundraising efforts by making a donation. Any amount you can give makes a difference!
Every dollar of your donation directly benefits cancer patients, survivors and their families.
Thank you for your support!
