Denmark firefighters participate in the 10th Annual Mary’s Firemen for a Cure at Shawnee Peak in Bridgton on Saturday. Harrison Fire Department won the race by being the fastest team through the course and by raising more than $1,400. The Shawnee Peak community showed up to support the event, helping to raise more than $15,000 in the fight against breast cancer. Becky Cash of the Maine Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure announced that Mary’s Firemen is the Maine Affiliate’s largest third-party fundraiser, raising over $100,000 in the past 10 years. All proceeds from the race are donated to the Maine Affiliate. The Harrison Fire Department is a perennial champion of the race, consistently out-skiing and out-raising the competition. In addition to teams from Harrison, Bridgton, Sebago, Gorham, Bethel and Denmark, this is the first year that a team from New Hampshire, Rollingsford, competed. Mary Allen started “Firemen for a Cure” in 2004. When she lost her own battle with breast cancer in 2005, her husband and three children took over the event, renaming it “Mary’s Firemen for a Cure” in 2006.
