For over a decade, a dedicated group of runners known as Team MCCP have come together to run in the Maine Marathon with one common goal: to support the patients and families receiving life-saving care at Maine Children's Cancer Program (MCCP). This special team is made up of patients' loved ones, MCCP caregivers and clinicians, and selfless community members who simply want to make a difference for local kids.
By joining forces with Team MCCP, you’ll be uniting with like-minded individuals who have a passion for both running and making an impact within our community. Anyone is welcome to join our team–whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or just bought your first pair of running shoes, you can help make a difference for kids here in Maine!
