This summer, there is no greater celebration of community than the 2022 Trek Across Maine, organized by the American Lung Association. Scheduled for the third weekend of June, it is the 38th annual Trek, starting at Thomas Point Beach and Campground in Brunswick this year. A three-day, 180-mile cycling event, the Trek’s fundraising goal is $1 million for the worthy cause of lung health. And we’ve already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. But, at its core, the Trek is about community. It is a thoroughly Maine event, connecting family members, friends and strangers for the greater good. Trekkers feel like part of a greater whole, while enjoying the great outdoors and reaping the rewards of exercise. ~ Scott Edgecomb, member, board of directors, American Lung Association
