The next 10 years will be an era of less chemo and more cures, and I’m proud to be helping to bring the latest advancements in care to Maine by participating in Champion the Cure Challenge. The Challenge is northern and eastern Maine’s largest fundraising event, and all the money raised stays in our communities to support patient care and research at the Lafayette Family Cancer Institute and Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center.

Cancer touches virtually every individual and family in Maine, but there’s a brighter future ahead for those affected by cancer. I am living proof. As many of you know, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in 2017. I was fortunate to receive all my treatment locally at EMMC & NL Lafayette Family Cancer Institute. Please join me in The Challenge to give HOPE to others facing a cancer diagnosis. Please help me make this future a reality; I invite anyone to join me in working to defeat cancer. Thank you for your support!
