SUMMARY:Dempsey Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The Dempsey Challenge is an annual run/walk/ride experience to benefit the Dempsey Center. With two physical Centers in Lewiston and South Portland\, Maine\, and our third\, virtual Center—Dempsey Connects\, which launched in 2020—our specially-trained team of experts provides curated\, holistic care to people impacted by cancer in Maine and beyond. Founded by actor Patrick Dempsey in 2009\, this flagship fundraising event has raised over $18 million for the Dempsey Center since its inception\, with 100% of all funds raised going directly to client care. \nWe’ve taken the Dempsey Challenge of the past and combined it into one day of inspiration\, participation and celebration as we rally together to make life better for people impacted by cancer. On Saturday\, September 21st\, you’ll choose to participate in a 5K run/walk\, a cycling event featuring new distances (family-friendly 5 miler\, 15-\, 25-\, 35-\, 50- or 65-mile metric century) or our newest Challenge\, a 25-mile event –our take on a duathlon– that will challenge you to run 4.5 miles AND ride 21.5 miles to the finish line at the Festival in the Park! \nIn the afternoon\, we’ll come together to honor cancer survivors with the 16th Annual Survivor Walk\, recognize the 2024 Amanda Dempsey Award winner and close out the day as we celebrate the top fundraisers at the Fundraising Award ceremony.
