4. More than 1,300 women raced for a cause at Sunday’s 18th annual Tri for a Cure, raising a record-breaking $2.1 million for the Maine Cancer Foundation. Prior to this year, the Tri for a Cure has raised more than $24 million for the Maine Cancer Foundation. (WGME)

The endangered shorebird is now showing strong signs of recovery, with nearly 200 chicks hatched so far. (WGME)
