Creative Fundraising by Team ENT Oncology Warriors

A dedicated team of athletes from the MaineHealth Ear, Nose and Throat Care in Scarborough combined their forces to raise $4,669.01 in a most creative way for Maine Cancer Foundation’s Tri for a Cure. ENT surgeon Christina Mimikos, nurse navigator Amber O’Leary, and nurse assistant Amanda Fierro worked with gifted quilter and ENT nurse practitioner Abby Vopal who created a beautiful quilt for them to raffle. Each piece of quilted material was donated in honor of someone who’s battled cancer. The winner of the quilt, ENT nurse Marc O’Regan, donated the quilt back to the MMP otolaryngology clinic.

Tri for a Cure is a women's only triathlon that raises money for cancer in the state of Maine. Amanda swam a third of a mile, Dr. Mimikos biked 15 miles, and Amber ran 3.1 miles. Great job, Warriors!
