George Horst passed away on April 12, 2025 after a 12 year battle with cancer. His niece, Ann Geiser, is a radiation therapist at the Lafayette Family Cancer Institute. This year, we will be walking/running in honor of George. We will be gathering donations to fund care and research at the Lafayette Family Cancer Institute and Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center on his behalf under Team George Horst!

We believe that by working together, cancer doesn’t stand a chance. Champion the Cure Challenge is how we make a difference. The Challenge is the only event in our region whose sole purpose is to support local cancer research and patient care. The money we raise will stay in our communities to fund care and research at the Lafayette Family Cancer Institute and Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.

We’re proud to be part of a community that’s committed to defeating cancer in Maine because we know that together, we can do great things for those affected by cancer. Will you join us?
