Mary Kerry Libby

An avid walker along Saco's Main Street, Mary Kerry Libby was well known for her friendly smile, gracious charm and kindness. A much-loved mother of four, wife, sister, daughter and friend, Mary lost her courageous battle with cancer on March 7, 1997 at 44 years of age. The first Mary’s Walk was held on the Sunday before St. Patrick’s Day in March 1999. 2011 marks the 13th annual Mary’s Walk. Since its inception over 20,000 people have participated in Mary's Walk and the Kerrymen Pub 5K. The event has raised over $1.4 million for the Maine Cancer Foundation - the exclusive recipient of all funds donated to Mary's Walk. The walk is held in conjunction with the Kerrymen Pub 5K, a long-standing event on the road race circuit.

Mary's Walk is an opportunity to remember those lost to cancer and to support those struggling against this deadly disease. All donations support cancer research and patient services through the Maine Cancer Foundation. Mary's Walk supports cancer research in Maine as one of the primary means of future cancer prevention. It is truly an investment in the future health and well being of all Maine people.
