Binnie Media’s Maine Radio Stations, 107.5 Frank FM and 99.9 The Wolf, supported the 16th Annual Dempsey Challenge September 21st in Lewiston.
The Dempsey Challenge is a run/walk/cycle event and is the flagship fundraiser for The Dempsey Center, founded by actor Patrick Dempsey. Patrick grew up in Maine, and wanted to help care for people impacted by cancer after his mother Amanda was diagnosed in 1997.
This year’s event was another great success, raising $1,773,349 with nearly 2,500 overall participants! Of course, the one and only Patrick “McDreamy” Dempsey was in attendance!
Thanks to all the participants, volunteers and sponsors who gathered (in person or virtually) and rallied for this great cause, helping to make life better for cancer patients, their loved ones, care partners, and survivors…all at no cost.
Regional Director of Operations in Maine Stella Mars scored an interview with Patrick, posted below if you’d like to listen.
