Support me in the fight against cancer!

This year I'll be participating in the 17th Annual Maine Cancer Foundation Tri for a Cure. As most of you know, I have participated in the Tri For A Cure since its inception. Seventeen years ago when I joined the first Tri For a Cure, Gail Darlington had passed away from blood cancer. The Tri For A Cure (an all women’s event) seemed like a great opportunity to recognize Gail on her birthday July 12 and raise money for the Maine Cancer Foundation. After the first couple of years, I switched to a team relay, which certainly simplified training!  Beth Franklin has been the swimmer for a number of years and I have biked and run. The past several years my knees have been saying no running!  This year Beth and I are going to complete the tri virtually. Beth will be swimming, I will be biking and then walking the 5K! We need to complete the virtual Tri between July 14 and 24. Would anybody like to join Beth for a swim in Mussel Cove? How about joining Betsey for a 15 mile bike ride to Cousins Island and back to Laurel Lane?  Or a 5K walk around Baxter Boulevard?
