PORTLAND, Maine — Maine documentary filmmaker Jeremy Grant is known for his remarkable photographs, obsession with the Maine outdoors, and a strong desire to inspire others. Now, he's raising money for the Travis Mills Foundation and Maine first responders.
Grant and U.S. Army Capt. Alex Clark are teaming up Dec. 18 to raise awareness around the foundation's mission and treating post-traumatic stress disorder.
"I accepted this near-impossible invite a few weeks ago, knowing that I only had a few weeks to train for what might be an impossible task for me to reach, but I am determined to give it everything I have to try and help those who have helped so many," Grant said.
Grant and Clark will lift 1,000 pounds followed by running a marathon. It will start at the Travis Mills Foundation's Veterans Retreat at the Belgrade Lakes Region and end at the Lewiston Fire Department. You can donate to their cause by clicking here.
"I am also selling all of my prints for the rest of the year and donating 100 percent of the profit to this cause," Grant said.
