Since its inception, this Maine-based triathlon has raised over $21 million, all staying right here to support cancer patients across the state. For doctors like Dr. Paige Teller and Dr. Jillian Smith, who’ve participated for a decade and four years respectively, it’s a sacred tradition—a joyful reunion where patients push their limits and doctors cheer them on, outside the clinic walls. With the fundraising goal already met, every donation still goes straight to Maine’s cancer patients, turning sweat and speed into life-saving support. It’s more than a race—it’s a celebration of strength, connection, and the unbreakable human spirit. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
