On Saturday, Aug. 15, cancer survivors, family, friends and caregivers will come together to show their support and raise funds for patients with cancer at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center Champion the Cure Challenge. The kick-off event, which includes a walk, run, and cycle at Northern Light Cancer Care’s Lafayette Family Cancer Institute in Brewer raises critical funds that support cancer research and resources. “Even before cancer had really touched my life, I took part in Champion the Cure Challenge,” Kim said, who found out she had breast cancer at 33. I take part in the Challenge so that everyone can have access to the same kind of cancer care that I did.” Registration for Champion the Cure Challenge is open for all events.
