Bryce Terry, a standout forward from Skidmore College’s men’s hockey team, is heading a five‑person squad in the Beyond the Summit Triathlon held in North Conway, New Hampshire, on August 21, 2026. The effort is aimed at generating financial support for the oncology department at Memorial Hospital, a regional center for cancer care.
The team includes Terry and four of his hockey teammates, forming a single unit that will compete together in the multi‑disciplinary race. Their participation follows a growing trend among athletes who blend competition with charitable fundraising, using the visibility of sport to draw attention to community health needs.
Organizers of the Beyond the Summit Triathlon have highlighted the event’s focus on cancer patients throughout the area, noting that contributions will be directed to Memorial Hospital’s oncology services. The hospital’s department serves a broad catch‑area, providing treatment and support for residents facing cancer diagnoses.
Terry’s involvement reflects his personal commitment to the cause, as well as the broader culture of philanthropy within Skidmore’s athletic programs. While the triathlon itself tests endurance across swimming, cycling, and running segments, the primary objective for the group is to raise funds that can assist patients and families dealing with cancer.
The race in North Conway brings together participants from across New England, with the Skidmore contingent representing a blend of collegiate sport and community outreach. By leading the effort, Terry and his four teammates hope to demonstrate how athletic dedication can translate into tangible benefits for regional health services.
The event concludes on the same day it begins, with all proceeds earmarked for the oncology department’s ongoing needs. The initiative underscores the role of local athletes in supporting critical medical resources for the surrounding population.
