Four years ago when endurance runner Mike Brooks of Auburn decided to do a fundraiser for the Dempsey Challenge at the YMCA in Auburn, one of the staff members said they would be right back as they were going to go get Patrick Dempsey. He was so excited he told his wife to come over with her camera. Everyone was disappointed when they carried a cardboard cutout of the famous actor through the door, but after a good laugh, Brooks continued to run and walk for 12 hours to raise money for the annual fundraiser. Doing the same thing for the fourth year in a row, he expects to raise about $2,000 with matching donations from the Auburn Fire Department where he once worked.
