Vicki explains her motivation in this short video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"360\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 612 \/ 360;\" width=\"612\" controls src=\"https:\/\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Vicki-1-fixed.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maine Cancer Foundation (MCF) leads this statewide effort to reduce the impact of cancer in Maine, investing in the most promising and effective programs that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve access to care for all Maine people;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advance cancer prevention<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase screening and early detection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The triathlon consists of three parts. Vicki has teamed up with her sister Veronica. Veronica will handle the swimming and biking portions, while Vicki handles the walking and running portions. The name of their team is VForce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year&#8217;s event happens on Sunday, July 12, 2026. Tri for a Cure has become the largest triathlon in the state of Maine, providing a gorgeous race course along the shores of Cape Elizabeth and South Portland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The Tri&#8221; certainly has many impacts on everyone who is somehow touched by it. We asked Vicki to comment on how the Grange might be affected and how the Grange might have an effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"360\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 614 \/ 360;\" width=\"614\" controls src=\"https:\/\/mainestategrange.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Vicki-2-fixed.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Triathlon has a great fundraising approach with several components. First, participants are required to raise a minimum of $500 each to be eligible. The Maine Cancer Foundation (MCF) recruits sponsors for the event itself, so all of the money raised goes directly to the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the VForce Team has raised the minimum. Additional donations are certainly in order! Use the link below to show your support. 100% of funds raised stay in Maine to support cancer prevention, screening, and improved patient outcomes. The money you help us raise will make a difference in the lives of your neighbors and communities around Maine. Now, more than ever, cancer patients need our help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-gray-color has-yellow-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/triforacure.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about triforacure<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-gray-color has-yellow-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/triforacure.donordrive.com\/teams\/8610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donate on behalf of Team V-Force<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--4\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-gray-color has-yellow-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/triforacure.org\/become-a-volunteer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Volunteer to Help with TRIFORACURE<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--5\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-dark-gray-color has-yellow-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\">View Cancer Survivor&#8217;s Stories<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Granger Vicki Huff Takes on Challenge Vicki Huff, Master of Hollis Grange, is participating for the first time in the annual Tri for a Cure Triathlon, in a commitment to her own health and recovery.
